Tree house
From Freepedia
(Redirected from Treehouses)
A tree house (also spelled treehouse) is a house that is built among the branches or around the trunc of one or more mature trees and is a least 3 m off the ground.
In some parts of the tropics, ordinary houses for living are built in trees or elevated on stilts to the same level as the trees, to keep the living quarters above hazards at ground level.
Treehouses are the only solution for building of eco-friendly facilities in some remote forest-areas. The wildlife, climate and illumination on ground-level in those areas is not habitable for man.
