I found this website by chance when I was looking up Architectural pleaching. I saw the bubble houses on treehugger.com, but much prefer your prefab houses as they don't look entirely foreign to the surrounding environment. I have a question... how do you get up there? Are you a skilled treeclimber? I would like to know more. How do you get the structure to where it is? Have you a working model? We need more people like you in South Africa. Right now our country is being torn to shreds by large earthmoving equipment in the name of Soccer World cup. Lots of backscratching and very little regard for our ancient indigenous forests. All the best there. I wish you the best of luck. Andrew Maynard, you are a genius. I found this website by chance when I was looking up Architectural pleaching.

Last year, we had one of our first encounters with a home literally made from trees, using an ancient technique called pleaching - the art of weaving (and sometimes grafting) trees together to form structures. The Fab Tree Hab was one of the design entries for the Index: awards, emerging from the genius of a crew including MIT architect Mitchell Joachim and our friend, Javier Arbona of Archinect. The project description emphasized consideration of whole systems (and ecosystems) in creating a truly sustainable built environment, rather than a piecemeal approach that could yield uncertain longterm outcomes.
