The Treehouse – Sybarite Style

Being that it’s June, and time to be outside, I’ve had my mind on treehouses. It almost never hurts to see another treehouse, so for a week, that’s all we’re going to do. Minus one special guest (more on that later). I’ve got some traditional treehouses, some fancy treehouses, and some items that really just relate to treehouses but are so cool we’ll see them anyhow. Stay tuned for plenty of structures in the trees goodness this week. I know it’s mid-week; bear with me, I got off to a late start.

First up, Sybarite’s version of the treehouse. A unique take on an old classic. This treehouse is big on solar power. Sybarite a very cool architect and design company, notes that this home is a more organic approach to country living, although, I’m not sure I agree. I LOVE their idea, but frankly something so stark sticking out of the trees hardly seems more organic. Still… take a look.

This treehouse has a layout that maximizes solar capacity and is flexible in form – comprised of prefab sections. You can configure a home with anywhere from one to five bedrooms, and Sybarite notes that it can be installed in two weeks. Wow.

Other perks noted by Sybarite include:

• Extremely low-maintenance concept
• Features which reduce environmental impact and maximize self-sustainability
• Avoidance of tree root damage and ground surface impact
• Collected rainwater
• 70% energy self-sufficient

The not perk factor:

“Roll out cost (50+ houses): £0.5million each”

What do you think? Too white?

See much more of this treehouse at Sybarite. You really should visit their site for the other cool work they’ve created, or at least for their ping pong ball like letters – fun galore. Just try to stop messing with their name logo. (or maybe I’m just easily amused.)
