In the future, will we give back the land to native plants and animals and live up in the trees? Hovering aircraft are available now, we just need to wait for the clean energy versions. If we compost our waste, give up plastics and petroleum, grow hydroponically…what would our new footprint be?

Treehouse, Costa Rica
If you are ready to live up in the trees full time, this planned, modern, sustainable treehouse community on 600+ acres of secondary rainforest and reclaimed pasture looks like a nice place. Perched overlooking the Golfo Dulce in Costa Rica and nurtured by two whitewater rivers, the land pulses with life. The ziplines are optional. fincabellavista.com
Treehouse, Costa Rica.
Finca BellaVista’s mission statement is: “To provide an opportunity for ecologically minded individuals to reside within the treetops of a unique rainforest ecosystem while promoting the conservation of species and the natural environment.” Buildable 1/2 to 4 acre lots available for sale, or rent an existing treehouse. fincabellavista.com

A Tree Hotel
Northern Sweden, a light-weight aluminium structure hung around a tree trunk, a 4×4x4m box clad in mirrored glass. The exterior reflects the surroundings and the sky, creating a camouflaged refuge. The interior is made of plywood. Access to the cabin is by rope ladder. I worry about the birds though. www.tvark.se/treehotel
Free Spirit Spheres
Set among the tall trees of the west coast rainforest of Vancouver Island, Canada. Handcrafted spheres are suspended like pendants from a web of rope. freespiritspheres.com

Modular Tree House
Sybarite, London. These environmentally friendly, very light-weight prefabricated modular structures are made from 70% recycled materials. Powered by wind. Currently being built worldwide… Really! Waiting for a real picture! We hope one of the new owners will share. There is a place to tie your clean energy hovering aircraft. We can break up all the asphalt roads and let nature take back the planet! sybarite-uk.com
Fab Tree Hab—Mass Institute of Technology
Live in a tree, not up in a tree…the tree grows in place ‘as’ the housing structure, instead of the growing, felling and transporting of lumber. A living structure is grafted into shape with prefabricated reusable scaffolds. A roof-top trough harvests water for human use; the plumbing system is positioned to provide for gravity-induced flow and gray-water reuse; a composting system treats human waste and will later return nutrients to the eco-system. archinode.com

Finca Bellavista is a residential treehouse community in the south Pacific coastal region of Costa Rica. It is a rustic, yet comfortable, private retreat off the beaten path where owners and a limited number of guests can explore the natural wonders of the rainforest canopy and enjoy what they call ‘treetop Pura Vida’. Will build a treehouse to suit. fincabellavista.com

Thank you for bring all the beautiful tree house. very nice. i have a dream to built a tree house.

While I’m.grateful to enjoy these photos I do have a complaint after looking at many treehouse photos,on the,web..especially you tube : wouldn’t it be nice to see the interiors of mist of these treehouses..majority of them dont show the inside..am I the only one frustrated by this ? I find it somewhat aggravating.
I live in San Diego, and would LOVE to have a tree house of my own. I don’t own a home, and NEVER would, in S.D. . If I ever have the opportunity to buy or build one, I would have it somewhere in Oregon or Washington state. WEST COAST ONLY!!!!!!

What a great diversity of tree houses! I’ll run out and buy the book. I favor the more traditional appearance, forgetting the use of steel or aluminum, and have a house underway. Thy say trees make good neghbors – perhaps not in ths instance.
My sister & I love this article & all the amazing tree houses !!!
We have always wanted to live in the tree’s & our favourite subject is ‘let’s give the planet back to the planet & live with it instead of against it ‘ !!!!
Anyone fancy living in a Ework village !!!!!
It’s so nice there are like minded people in the world !!!
