The Pinecone Treehouse, Santa Cruz, CA by O2Treehouse

[honeytrek]

Ever since The Pinecone opened in 2018, we’ve dreamt of staying in this O2 Treehouse. A cutting-edge and utterly stunning design that shattered the convention of what a glamping structure could be, it is world-famous. Though, when you’ve seen a place in photos so many times, you have to wonder, “What would it really be like to stay here?" After a 2-night stay we can tell you it was beyond our wildest dreams! Hold on tight and climb inside The Pinecone ...

A father decided to build this special ship-tree-house for his children!!!

The architect Dustin Feider was called to build it in Hollywood (California) in April 2009. The owner commissioned this special tree-house because his children had very little space to play in the backyard.

The architect designed the tree-house like a ship, with a cabin for the captain, a bow and a stern. It has been rigged into the hillside using steel cables and anchored with concrete footings.

Children can enter “by climbing a rope ladder up the hillside, through an under carriage entry, up a second ladder, and through a trap door onto the ‘poop deck’ of the tree-ship”. o2treehouse

Through the trap door you arrive on the tree-house and enter in the main space (the cabin) that has no roof on it and from this space to a terrace. The house is 20 feet long for 6 feet wide. It’s made meanly of wood and the structure of aluminum “I” beams.
