Organic Architecture: 7 Exotic Tree Houses & Hanging Huts



Have today’s grand, master-planned tree homes grown too far beyond their rustic roots? If so, these examples may bring back that wild, impromptu and natural sense some over-the-top
concepts fall short of.
Romero Studios has been building tree-lofted huts, homes, porches and platforms for over a decade, and the versatility of their work speaks to experience in various sites, climates and cultural contexts. Some structures are suspended from the sides of cliffs, others supported by a single trunk and still others more like ordinary houses straight stilts.
But their beautiful creations branch out further than that, in some cases using bent wood, ivy, vines, nearby logs, twigs and branches, intertwining them on the fly into core parts of the eventual completed design.
But setting aside the aesthetics, for the moment, tree houses are about the experience as well – what does it feel like to walk up the steps or climb the latter and crawl inside? How do the foreground, middle ground and background work together when one looks out on the world below?
And naturally: what is the interior like? Is it a quiet and contemplative space, or lively and well-lit? A normal-style dwelling (save for sitting up in the sky, anyway) or a retreat away from the familiar? Playful to the last, these tree dwellings show great depth in terms of the design questions they ask and answer in different ways due to differing client demands and regional conditions
