Danielle Lehmann: Looking Out Week 2

This small escape was featured in the article, Wooden Tree House Design Ideas in Columbia (Columbia = British Columbia). This is a small get away up in the trees with a hexagonal bubble shape which designer Joe Allen calls the "Hemloft Weekend Cabin" in his favorite place in the woods. Although I enjoying working with word I have always been frustrated by it as well (especially looking at all of these posts), but I am at heart a true tree hugger and I hate to see tree being cut down for projects when other materials could be used. On the other hand it is a renewable resource and is a wonderfully inspiring material to work with. That is why I chose this tree house this week. It's a bubble where one is surrounded by soft and treated wood materials (that are arranged for the most functional shelving and circulation), but at the core of the space, there is the tree - the strong, the mighty, the essence of what forms the structure of many homes on the ground. It's a rare experience to know the tree from that height and with a relative feeling of safety. Here, one can be surrounded by trees and the product of them in a beautiful mix.
