Nature’s Penthouses
Extraordinary tree houses that bring new meaning to elevated living

Above the forest floor, a world of wonder awaits. Tree houses have always captured our imaginations—symbols of escapism, endless youthful summers, and a deep-rooted connection to nature. But today, they’ve evolved beyond childhood hideaways into architectural marvels that blend sustainability and cutting-edge design

So, climb up and explore 62 elaborate tree houses from around the world, each with its own fascinating story. With no single blueprint, they take many forms—some are anchored within towering branches, others mimic the shapes of trees, some shelter in the foliage without touching a trunk. But all have the same goal: to bring us closer to nature. 

This beautiful collection of self-built structures and masterpieces by world-renowned architects such as Snøhetta and BIG is divided into five chapters. Discover Playful Tree Houses, where kids can push the boundaries of adventure; Hideaway Tree Houses that offer secluded retreats for writers, dreamers, and solitude-seekers; Observation Tree Houses, giving a front-row seat to the wonders of the wild; Vacation Tree Houses, where nest-level luxury makes for unforgettable escapes; and Residential Tree Houses that prove sustainable arboreal living isn’t just for the birds. 

Whether they were designed for play, relaxation, or full-time habitation, these amazing houses fulfill a deep human longing for authenticity, tranquility, and a new perspective—challenging convention and fashioning a renewed relationship with the environment. They remind us that, while our roots must remain in the earth, our imaginations should always reach for the sky.
