MODERN treehouse

A SERENE HOUSE SET IN AN INDIGENOUS FOREST IN THE CITY REIMAGINES URBAN LIVING

- MELANIE FARRELL

Meticulous planning went into positioning this home set in a hectare of indigenous forest to ensure that the forest remained intact.

"We used a land surveyor to pinpoint every tree, which we then marked. We had to build meticulously around trees and did the build by hand," says the home owner.

The floor-to-ceiling windows, paired with wooden floors and ceilings and glass walkways "create the feeling that we live in a modern treehouse floating in the forest".
