I love naturally built houses so thought it was great when Western Design Architects got the planning permission last week to build a tree house Dorset. It will cost £800,00 to build the 360sq m house. The house will be made up of three timber pods 1.5m off the ground, be made from recycled timber, have a sedum roof and be heated via a ground source heat pump. The oak trees the house is built around are protected by a tree preservation order, therefore the oaks will penertrate each terrace so according to the architect "you can hug a tree if you want".
I'm looking to seeing the final tree house once it's been built, hopefully by next year.
Bring on the tree hugging!
