This involves considering the loss of sunlight and rain to the soil below the house as well as the air space (e.g. bird habitat). We cannot simply move the suburbs into the forest. This is indeed, I admit, is a good looking design, but more thought should be put into how it interacts with the nature it is surrounded by, other tree house designs on this site have done much better jobs in that respect.

I just love how everything is open and surrounded by all those branches. I admit, this must be one of the nicest looking houses I’ve ever seen.
