Tiny Cabins

I don’t consider this a treehouse although it’s a modern micro cabin on stilts (so it’s similar to one). But Rockefeller Partners Architects call the project and shelter shown here the Banyan Treehouse. I like the name because it’s like a modern take on the treehouse (using no living trees).

The couple started off with 20 acres and absolutely no blueprints. But I’m sure they had tons of ideas that they had [...]
