Treehouse with stairs by architectJeff de Ruyter Treehouse with a ladder is a unique form of financial security. Some citizens build them to save on a mortgage, others turn them into a country residence for recreation or rent. For Jeff de Ruyter, his signature project has become a symbol of a stable existence, which cost him about $ 45,000. There is an attic for a bedroom, a small recreation area, a kitchen and a bio-toilet. For construction, the architect used both new and used building and finishing materials. Mostly, this is natural wood of different types, which creates a unique light aura in this tiny living corner.
For heating, Jeff uses oneelectric baseboard, for lighting - a minimum number of bulbs, placed only in those places where it is really necessary. By the way, his kind neighbors provide him with electricity, to whom he pays only $ 20 a month. The only downside is the lack of a shower. But the owner is not at all embarrassed by this circumstance, because not far from his home there is a convenient harbor where he can swim whenever he wants.
The modest dimensions did not prevent the installation of large windows for admiring nature
The small bedroom has a spacious bed decorated with retro textiles. Could you live in such a house?
