Tree House overlooking L.A., a Luxurious Place of Retreat

By Lavinia • January 16, 2010

A tree house is usually that place kids love to go in order to play and do whatever children do. It usually has a very simple construction plan, with nothing inside but some comfy pillows and dozens of toys.  href="http://www.rockefeller-pa.com/">RPA Architects come to shake this perspective, by creating another type of tree house. The concept is completely blown away when having to deal with a luxurious, all-equipped, artsy mini-residence up in the tree. Situated in Nichols Canyon, Los Angeles, and overlooking L.A., Banyan Tree house is a modern combo between an art studio and a fancy meditation getaway. 12 feet high, the unusual tree house is made out of wood and glass (yes, it has windows!) on top of which reigns a Rheinzink roof. Kind of makes you wish your own house looked like this, doesn’t it?- href="http://www.trendir.com/house-design/luxury-tree-house-treehouse-of-art-and-inspiration.html">via
