The process of attaching the treehouse to the redwoods is of course invasive to the tree, however when done correctly is not harmful in any way. It’s primarily constructed from a bolted steel frame, which is complimented by acrylic window panels, each uniquely shaped and cut to form the appearance of a pinecone. The rest is all unobstructed views through the geometrically ornate surrounding windows.įixed to the trees from eight different points, the treehouse is completely secure and has very little movement.

Inside, there’s nothing other than a bed and bedside table. Instead, the pinecone was kept as unencumbered as possible, to give it the feeling of being more like temple in the trees. In the treehouse itself, no kitchen or bathroom was added. This treehouse is not a complete home, but instead was created as more of a get-away, or sanctuary space. The parametrically designed pinecone treehouse which is in a shape called a zome, is a remarkable example of his work. The treehouse was constructed by master treehouse-builder Dustin Feider, who has been building for years and loves exploring the possibilities of treehouse architecture, especially when incorporating ornate geometry into the design. This treehouse, a stunning and geometrically ornate structure shaped like a pinecone and suspended amongst the towering redwoods in California takes that dream to the next level.

There’s something about a treehouse which truly epitomises nature and our ability to live in harmony with our surrounding environment. The Pinecone Treehouse: A Spectacular Tiny Home In The TreesĪs children, so many of us have dreamt of building homes or unique sanctuaries in the trees.
