Urban Treehouses in Berlin Equipped with Kitchen and Bath for Long-Term Living

This gorgeous house is located in Berlin, and this project is recognized as Urban Treehouse showcases a modern design that has the possibility for long-term living. Baumraum is a firm famous for this type of elevated architecture, and they’ve created the treehouses as an experimental research project. They are set within a community of residential buildings with bigger properties and gardens which is much different than a rural area surrounded by nature. The design proposes to add to the city’s collection of insignificant alternative constructions, all while preserving the nearly 7,000 square-foot tree population around it. Urban Treehouse comprises of two near-identical cubic units that each have 226 square feet of living space, including a kitchen and bathroom. Both hover on a 13 foot-high base and have a lower terrace that’s 8.5 feet from the ground. For one of the treehouses, the flight of stairs is supported by flexible suspensions from a near oak. The structures ingeniously conceal their utilities, supply circuit, and storage space in the bases. 

Their overall load-bearing design, supports, and frames are made of galvanized steel sections with solid prefabricated five-layer spruce panels used in the walls, ceiling, and floor. The brightly-lit, warm-wood interiors are offset by exterior aluminum composite panels. This juxtaposition makes a clean, modern feel that makes them more than just a weekend getaway.

Fascinating Lamps That Dance Like Jellyfish

In a charmed and continuous blend of technology and organic aesthetic, Studio Drift, an art and design studio in Amsterdam, has produced a set of lovely silken ceiling lamps often called “Shylights” that impersonator the circadian rhythms of flowers by opening and closing in a hypnotizing dance. Therefore, in flowers, nyctinasty is the opening and closing of their petals or leaves in response to light or darkness. Moreover it is organic movement that the “Shylights” seek to emulate. They work merely when activated, the flower’s cocoon drops up to 30ft down, inflating the flower-like silken skirt in the lamp’s frame and revealing its complete beauty. The set of lamps then rises and falls in a programmable choreographed sequence. The lamps are presently a perpetual exhibit at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, which requested that the studio make the lamps after seeing their non-permanent model.
