Even More Amazing Treehouse

OK well I've stumped myself already, my earlier Amazing Tree House post is now old news.


"The Naha Harbor Diner in Okinawa, Japan is a life-size rendition of a banyan tree, also known as gajumaru. The aptly-named Banyan Town shopping center near the entrance of Onoyama Park features a twenty foot tall tree with a pan-Asian restaurant nestled amid its branches."


What can you say about this place. It obviously isn't a real tree but looks pretty good and as a gimmick goes I've certainly seen worse.

Amazing Tree House

Remember when you were a kid and a treehouse was probably the coolest place in the world to be. Well you probably even had a go at building one. This more than likely involved simply getting a palate into a tree. Some of you might have even built a good one, or had a good one built for you but my guess is it didn't look like this....


"The clients – a family with young children - wished an extraordinary and comfortable treehouse. The design and realization was dedicated totally to the architects.

The treehouse serves as a room for rest and relaxation for the adults as well as a room to play and hideaway for the children close to the main house. The spacious terrace is large enough for a table and a few chairs."


Now that has to be the best looking tree house you've ever seen. If it isn't I want some proper abuse in the comments.
