A Real Tree House.

By Miss Cellania in Architecture on Jun 5, 2007 at 8:54 pm

This house is not to be built, itâ€™s to be grown! Architects Mitchell Joachim and Javier Arbona and environmental engineer Lara Greden designed this â€œtree houseâ€ to be both eco-friendly and alive. Trees are planted and trained to grow in the shape of the finished home. The interior walls are made of clay and plaster, and will look like a normal house. Link -via Look at This

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

As I’ve seen pointed out elsewhere, this appears uncomfortably similar to visionary artist/engineer Paul Laffoley’s concept for a “plant house,” right down to the form of the structure, albeit somewhat more traditional to what people think of when they think of a house. I hope if these catch on he’ll get the credit he’s due and some others of his ideas are given consideration.
