Totally love it and would like a couple of trees in my home to create the finish that I have always dreamed. The heart wants what it wants.
Thanks for sharing!!!!

Very interesting. Complete that nature touch with huge photographic prints of wildlife. Birds, in particular, would be apt.

What a coincidence — I just posted about this on my blog too. Reminds me of SunRay Kelley’s work. I love the idea of intimately incorporating trees in a space.

The thing I love most about this idea (and others like it) is the slowness required. Much of the destructive and wasteful nature of our current construction paradigm stems from the ‘time is money’ hastiness required of it. The idea of starting a project one knows will not be finished before one’s death is almost wholly foreign to our way of thinking. I think with that comes a certain innate disposability which sits squarely at the root of much that is wrong.

I’ve seen homes and home concepts that are literally built by interweaving the flora around a living space with the intention of creating a natural environment that is truly “green”. The idea is to maximize the flora and minimize the additional insulation required. This is a generational effort (both for the plants and the people) but would be an amazing community concept.
