10 Amazing Tree Houses from Around the World [w/PICS]

weburbanist.com — As a young child (or perhaps even an adult) who hasn't dreamed of living in a tree house? Some tree houses are suspended in trees, others are built around or even inside of them. Here are ten incredible tree house designs that range from functional to fanciful, sustainable to strange and affordable to impossibly expensive (with images and videos!).

  • Ganja420, on 02/11/2008, -1/+10you can't build it above the trees and call it a tree house... but the rest are cool
  • MrB398, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4These put my poorly constructed treehouse from 15 years ago to shame
  • ifnotme, on 02/11/2008, -0/+4Makes me want a tree house all over again!
  • mGARANDEUR1, on 02/11/2008, -3/+2Those houses are not very sustainable. Any one of those trees fall down and you're *****.
  • listrophy, on 02/11/2008, -0/+17Immediate first thought: http://xkcd.com/212/

    So true. So true.
  • shyner, on 02/11/2008, -0/+6A couple of those make me think of Myst.
    • sillypickle, on 02/11/2008, -0/+2Especially the round ones. Look at the shape of that door, and just imagine a wheel sticking out of it to operate the latch...
  • Phernoree, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall...
  • tictacofdoom, on 02/11/2008, -3/+3this same list of tree houses has been posted more than three times now..their awesome..but..this is getting old...
    • Phernoree, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1not all of us check digg 14 times a day
      • tictacofdoom, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0neither do i...i didnt mean today, over the past yearish.
        • AlexTommo, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0Why do you think it got posted again? He obviously didn't see it the first couple of times... Along with many others, most likely.
  • arijfroo, on 02/11/2008, -2/+1w/pics? Thanks for mentioning that. I was worried I would have to read the descriptions instead.
  • topbob, on 02/11/2008, -2/+7I here by claim this the most submitted topic ever on Digg.
  • blzbulb, on 02/11/2008, -1/+02 Of these reminded me of Roger Dean concepts.
  • RikkiTikki, on 02/11/2008, -0/+2There's a business out there that bases its entire profit on 12 products a year AND there's a huge chance it will catch on fire? That's crazy genius.
  • koft, on 02/11/2008, -0/+6not this ***** again...
  • googooly, on 02/11/2008, -0/+6I think i digg similar articles 400 times
  • AutumnWindz, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1'Amazing' is possibly the most overused word on Digg.
  • dannybull, on 02/11/2008, -0/+2cavehome > treehouse

    • Rocksea24, on 02/11/2008, -0/+2How can a cave home be better than a tree house? Bears may be known to climb trees, but they don't live in them, they live in caves. How can living with a "Godless killing machine" be better?
  • tcasey22, on 02/11/2008, -1/+6WHY DOES THIS STUPID ARTICLE KEEP POPPING UP ON THE FRONT PAGE!?!?!?!?!?!
    • mattyoi, on 02/11/2008, -2/+1it may have something to do with new users, and for the people who dont check digg every waking moment
      • grimward, on 02/11/2008, -0/+2No really, I too wonder the same thing, I've seen this ***** story five times now, this time it gets a bury as an ancient dupe from hell!
        Die article diiieee! *Stab stab*
  • spgass, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1Some of those are cool. Anything that keeps kids playing outside gets a digg from me!
  • Lephtovermeet, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1Would you say that they are AMAZING?
  • impsquared, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0Can anyone say "REPOST" ??
  • dustinrr, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0this made me think of the swiss family robinson movie, didn't they have a tree house similar to one of those?
  • eschompthis, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1awesome, but its not a "true" treehouse if it has 2x4's touching the ground for support
  • screensnot, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1What's with the 'Styx Valley Protest Structure'?

    Let me just say this, to that guy:

    A designer, who has not taken any engineering classes, is no better than a kid with a crayon.
  • diggcensors, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1old
  • Glyphical, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1Zelda
  • perot9296, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1This story is crap.
  • MrCrispyChicken, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0Ok its a treehouse. House's in trees. Ok. Lovely. No more stories on them

    Plz.
  • Shaem1, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1The round tree house reminds me of James and the Giant Peach.
