Stunning Egg Shaped Tree House Secretly placed on Canada Woods



The HemLoft is a secret tree house that’s hiding in the woods of Whistler, Canada. A former software developer Joel Allen, who was laid off from his job actually fabricated this and he decided to find another work rather than to retire.  This was a fruitless attempt for the then-26 year old, but the time off shifted his career path to carpentry and he acquired skills made it possible for him to design and build this getaway over the course of many years.

This egg shaped structure is using plywood ribs to set its form and scavenged wood to fill out the rest. Inside, it’s actually a 2 storey minimalist setup, best for somebody who likes camping because it has no running water or electricity. The top of HemLoft features pop-open windows that are impeccable for quietly observing the surrounding woods and taking in the night stars. Although there is a space reserved for a kitchen. His handiwork is built on a stranger's land without their permission and its location is secret and unidentified by most, and the owners of the property have yet to find out about this tucked-away gem.

The Fibonacci Tree-house, Spain

The design of this beautiful house in the trees was inspired by the Fibonacci Spiral. That's the spiral found in plants and animals like the sunflower and the snail's shell. The building, by Blue Forest, is finished from sustainably managed forest timbers using laminated ribs for the framing which is clad inside and out with larch boards. Larch has comparable characteristics as oak but is less cost. This small house is just 270 Sq.ft with a tiny kitchen and space for a bed and chairs. Once the frame of the house was made off-site it took a little team of builders about 8 weeks to construct. You can say it’s a bit of a kid's paradise with 130 ft of rope bridges and a 75 ft slide. What an awe-inspiring aspect of nature! This lovely house is a marvel of nature and human intelligence. In the Fibonacci sequence, as you may divide a number into its successor, the further along you go the closer you get to the value of "Phi" - The Golden Ratio (value 1.618033), i.e 13 divided into 21 = 1.61538; 144 divided into 233 = 1.61805. The dimensions of our Meditation \ Yoga Hut at Lee Road are based approximately! on the value of Phi.
