Green Options

Literally, a home for a treehugger. The musician client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also suggested the flow of music. It is on a steep sloping grade which made it possible to set the main level of the house up into the tree canopy to evoke the feeling of being in a tree house.

Here at Green Options, our coverage of tree houses on Clean Technica and Feel Good Style lead me to a discussion on treehouse hotels. This started me thinking about the the perfect way to experience ecotourism…

…in a way that might further ecological education and preservation. For example, show above are aerial views of Hinchinbrook tree house hotel in Australia, which is tucked inside a 96-acre national park with lush rainforests, sandy beaches, plus mountain hiking.

Realizing not all of us may have the ability to dash away to a resort, a simpler treetop experience is Free Spirit Spheres (shown below), that is something Inhabitat updates us on as you can not only visit their unique place, you may buy own orb from them.

The Ecosphere is in a grove of trees, and can be your little personal treehouse spacecraft among the branches.
