TASCHEN Modern Tree Houses Book

Modern Tree Houses by Taschen is a volume that explores the evolution of tree houses from childhood hideaways to contemporary architectural masterpieces. This collection celebrates 62 extraordinary projects from around the world, created by enthusiasts and renowned architectural firms such as Snøhetta, BIG, Baumraum and Manuela Hardy. Each project showcases a unique approach to suspended living, combining innovation, sustainability and a close connection with nature.

The structures presented are developed among the branches, in the foliage or in spaces that mimic the shapes of trees, with the common goal of bringing humans closer to nature. The book is divided into five chapters: Playful Tree Houses, dedicated to adventure and play; Hideaway Tree Houses, refuges reserved for writers, artists and lovers of solitude; Observation Tree Houses, for observing nature from unique perspectives; Vacation Tree Houses, which combine luxury and relaxation amidst the vegetation; and Residential Tree Houses, examples of sustainable living in contact with trees. From eco-friendly homes to urban retreats, from luxury dwellings to children's playhouses, each project shows how architecture can reinvent elevated living. Modern Tree Houses invites us to rediscover our relationship with the environment, transforming imagination into concrete spaces, and reminds us that, even when rooted to the ground, creativity can always look to the sky.
