Fascinating Trio of Treehouses Each Have an Exclusive Cozy Feel
Atlanta, Georgia-based environmentalist
Peter Bahouth always feels very close to nature and he grew up having a
tree-house and has affectionate memories of it. When he an adult, he
always wanted to re-form this distinct place, so with his partner Nick
Hobbs make a design and construct his vision. Peter Bahouth had
previously purchased an ample land next to his house, and together with
Hobbs designated a trio of closely equidistant trees to build around.
The ultimately result is three fascinating spaces linked together by a
suspension bridge.
Moreover every
house is built with salvaged materials, antiques, and meaningful stuffs.
They’re named “Mind,” “Body,” and “Spirit” and have personalities all
their own. First of all you’ve to enter in “Mind”, which is meant as a
place to gather, and includes ample seating for guests. The 2nd
tree-house is “Body” actually a bedroom that’s filled with original art
and a platform bed that slides out under the tree canopy. Therefore;
“Spirit” is a round platform that is the tallest of the three and boasts
an unbelievable view of the sunset. The rustic tree-houses also come
equipped with a hammock for lazy afternoons and a bull’s eye for playing
blow darts. Coupled with the cozy interiors, they're the impeccable
spot to amuse friends or relish a night outdoors and feel closer to
nature.

A Small Retreat House Built in the Forest on a Giant Boulder
Czech
architecture agency Uhlik Architekti, (which includes architects Petr Uhlik,
Jan Sorm) presented an innovative concept of leaning home. As the pictures states; the house is actually
called Forest Retreat, which is constructed in a diagonal formation with the
upper section resting upon a giant boulder. The agency established this
beautiful idea for their clients who requested a hideaway that could help as a
quiet escape from the urban pandemonium of his life in Prague. We selected an
area between Central and South Bohemia where the customer comes from and where
he has loved going to since his childhood. He took us to a spot in the midst of
fields, woods, and meadows, full of strange boulders, to a remote and somewhat
forgotten place.
Although it
is not spacious house but it construct the home, measures 10x20 feet, the
architects used wood and fallen trees found along the owner's land in the
forest, along the skills of local craftsmen. The main flat room proffers space
for one person to stand and look out at the landscape through the large,
floor-to-ceiling glass entryway. Large steps lead up towards a 2nd window that
proposes a second view of the forest. However; interestingly each step functions
as a resting place as well as storage and, moreover, one of the benches can be
turned over to create a double bed. General, the multifunctional house is a
straightforward space where the owner can relish a quiet escape from city
living.

Fabulous Table Layers Wood and Glass to Shape Dramatic Ocean Depths
We’re sure you would like to
bring some nautical wonder into your house with the Abyss Table, indeed a spectacular
coffee table that mimics the depths of the ocean with stacked layers of wood
and glass. The table is made by popular London-based furniture design company
Duffy London; the limited-edition quantity makes a geological cross-section as fascinating
as the sea, completing the table as a three-dimensional representation of a
geological map. With the significant price of £5,800 (approximately $10,000),
the Abyss Table is as much a work of art as a functional piece of furniture.
The Founder Christopher Duffy
says, I was looking into sheets of thick glass at my glass manufacturer’s
factory, and I noticed that how the material darkened as they added more layers
the similar way the sea does as it deepens. I got an idea to use this effect to
replicate a real piece of the earth’s sea bed. Similar to a mythical power had
lifted an accurate rectangle straight from the earth’s crust to use as his
personal ornament." The Christopher Duffy is famous for creating inventive
and idiosyncratic products that combine art and function. The perfect examples
is of their creative furniture designs comprise a Little Red Riding
Hood-inspired table with axe legs, a coffee table supported by floating
balloons, and a playful swing table with hanging chairs. Source: Mymodernmet

Greg Klassen Graceful Wood Tables Embedded with Glass Rivers
Greg Klassen is a furniture maker
in the Pacific Northwest who catches motivation in its landscape and translates
that into his work. His beautiful River Collection is a series of intricately
designed and handcrafted tables that feature embedded bluish-green glass “rivers”
running throughout each piece. The lovely jagged edges of the wood and their clear
grains offer the perfect “shore” to mimic bodies of water.
Each of Klassen’s tables showcases
stunning details within the wood; we grasp knots, swirling grains, and other
imperfections that make his tedious work truly one-of-a-kind. It’s complemented
by the specially-cut glass that attaches two separate pieces of wood or fills
in its natural holes. Greg Klassen used trees that were sustainably harvested
from the banks of the Noonsack River, so with every new table he made;
discarded trees have a natural new life through his functional art.
