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).
And since the shelter sits 12′ off the ground it still looks and feels like a treehouse.
It’s near downtown Los Angeles and just 170 sq. ft. in size.
The tiny house is built on steel stilts and it has a modern, minimalist and whimsical flair.
