ART. An idea that puts a spark in the mind.
“The Minister’s Treehouse in Crossville, Tennessee is a 100ft structure built by minister Horace Burgess from the early 1990s through 2004. The entire building wraps around a giant tree and was built completely without blueprints, sprawling to an estimated 10,000 square feet inside, including a four-story swing set.” [via Colossal (via Required Reading)
A key point, not mentioned above: Most of the building’s lumber was reclaimed from “garages, storage sheds and barns” (as per this 2007 USAToday story).
Pretty cool.
