Tree Trunk Garden House ... Again using the circular motif on two sides of the exterior while utilizing the full trunk of the tree at many locations. Very appropriate considering the application. Wood creates architectural as well as disguises them as we see with the Garden home's windows! Located in the Netherlands, the Garden House is designed by Piet Hein Eek.

Haha.... Hey girl! I love the post! I have to say, though, I was laughing so hard when I saw the house of logs with all of those log ends on two sides. All I could think to myself was, "Don't you dare let anything like that be built on a park service property, because I sure don't want to be responsible for preserving all of those log ends one day after they rot." Sorry, I had to write so many preservation reports this summer for projects that involved replacing rotted log ends... Coincidentally, we also had a walkway exactly like that one right outside of our cabin too. It was built in the 1960s as a vacation cabin in what is now Grand Teton NP.
