It is amazing the innovative designs that people have come up with in building tree houses. Here are nine designs and 3 more tree house types. How about an unusual one that it appears could be mass produced, might need some sturdy supports however. And even Microsoft is getting into the action, putting a worker into her
very own tree house.

Lastly, Castles can be apart of the wonders of the world. Only thing to really wonder about is where they get all those wax for all the wax candles to keep the chandeliers lit!!

Those are pretty cool! I've always wanted a treehouse, there's just something about them that's so appealing.

My castle, hopefully, will be an apartment above a hobby shop that I'll run. My friends will come over, hang out, I'll sell the games I love, meet people, etc. Nothing grand or majestic or regal or anything like that, just something that fits my needs and is super cozy.

Those are intense, awesome stuff indeed. I've seen some before but wow, always amazes me what people with enough money can do tongue.gif

And I have to say, Aniki, that's a refreshing outlook. Personally I've always been of the mindset "If I'm comfortable and can provide for my family, I'll be happy" but so many people are obsessed with getting rich and living large. Glad to see I'm not alone haha. I'll have to stick with having a normal treehouse in the backyard I guess wink.gif

I always wanted a treehouse when I was a little kid...problem was I lived in So. Cal, and there weren't tall enough or dense enough trees at my disposal to do it.

I had a decent treehouse at my place, but it was more like a ladder with a wooden box in the trees, nothing fancy lol. Might have had a window or something to throw water balloons out of biggrin.gif Years after we stopped using it it came crashing down in a huge storm that moved the trees. Moral? Be careful when building them hahaha

I haven't even climbed a tree before. XD And I'm afraid to try, especially when I see those huge ants crawling all over them. XD Or the fact that I just might fall. Although I think that's less likely to happen than several ants attacking me. But tree houses are cool; I've seen some really nice ones on TV.

And I suppose those castles use electricity now, because I agree with you. Or maybe those same castles are deserted. Either way. XD But on the topic on homes, treehouses, and castles, I think I'd just prefer to live in a nice, normally sized condomininum in downtown Toronto or something. I don't like huge spaces, since property taxes are too high and I don't need all that space.

P.S.: My photography teacher always says that he lives under the GO station, which is a train that travels in the Greater Toronto Area.

I actually grew up in southern california and built quite a few of them. Some of them were eventually torn down by the city because they were too dangerous to climb up to.
I think we mainly built them in those big Eucalyptus trees and to get up just nailed some 3/4 inch boards to the trunk as a ladder, so you had to climb up about 15 or 20 feet on those.
We built one with a nice zip line to get down.

Those are so cool! I've always wanted to live up somewhere high, and trees are the perfect place. If I ever become insanely rich I want to get a really big tree and made a huge tree house and live in it. Those designs are really cool and unique smile.gif

When I was about 7 or 8, my cousin and I built a treehouse. It was the most awesome thing ever! We built it on a mango tree, had a ladder and everything to climb up to the tree house. But, I guess we didn't think through it enough. We built it next to an electricity poll, and my dad and my aunt decided that we couldn't play in it anymore sad.gif . I Think that all kids should experience the joy of having their own tree house! I thought that it was amazing.
