According to the firm, the dwelling  was “conceived as an experiment and a research project for new construction and housing in tune with nature”.Image Source:  homedsgnUrban Treehouse is a family project  initiated by  Hans-Joachim Stegemann and his developer grandson Kolja. For those who seek home office inspiration from cutting edge residential developments,  the focus of the project was to enable the treehou se to serve as an ‘oasis’ environment that would inspire its occupants.The Stegemanns’  idea  of locating a treehouse in an urban space was itself an inspiring challenge for the team at  Baumraum  as treehouses are normally associated with rural environments.IMAGE SOURCE: HOMEDSGNAll  aspects of the home follow the same theme, with light, natural wood and several plants and greenery, incorporating the home into its natural surroundings, while allowing it to stand out with its contemporary look.The  location of  the dwellings is precisely on the urban-rural transition pointâ€"bordering a forest, within the vicinity of the beautiful lakes of Krumme mLanke and Schlachtenseeâ€"and so they  serve as a bridge between the vibrancy of Berlin and  the restorative properties of the countryside.IMAGE SOURCE: HOMEDSGNThe residence’s two units each have 21 square metres (226 square feet) of living space. Each has a four-metre tall base, and a lower terrace at a high of 2.6 metres.The so lid wooden constructions are  breathable with high insulation qualities and heat storage capacity. The dwelling units are equipped with anything a resident could require, including a bathroom with shower, a kitchenette space and a comfortable bed, all flooded with natural light, and the solid wood interior spruce panels left visibly in their natural state.
