located at a height of 11 meters above the ground, the ‘treehouse halle’ provides an elevated getaway for sleeping and relaxing. completed by german designer office baumraum, the high dwelling is accessed through the residential property’s garage, where a hole has been cut into the roof to allow for the ascent. beyond, a steel staircase wraps a sturdy oak tree with a curving form, finally reaching a hatch in the structure’s wood deck. the volume’s form is characterized by a curving top, clad in zinc sheeting. multiple windows pierce through the envelope to offer views of the landscape context.
