    When <a href="http://ultra-architects.pl/en/2008/domek-mai/">Ultra Architects</a> completed a home in Poland, the client asked them to use the leftover wooden elevation boards to build a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/treehouses/">small treehouse</a> for their daughter Maja. Although none of the trees on the site were appropriate for such a construction, there was an elevated spot on the plot perfect for a little girl's secret hideaway.
