As a nod to childhood treehouses and those good old days of youthful splendor, Dustin Feider ^[5] obsessed himself with developing the perfect eco-friendly version of the tree sanctuary. After much trial and error, the 23-year old freelance furniture designer came up with a unique and green take on the conventional kiddie sanctuary which he dubbed the O2 Sustainability Treehouse ^[6]. Inspired by the construction of Buckminster Fuller’s ^[7] infamous geodesic dome, Feider discovered that by following Bucky’s ^[7] lead, he could use less material and construct a more stable structure than that of the ‘traditional’ treehouse – most importantly, without at all harming the tree.

Feider’s ^[5] makeshift abode truly stands out, particularly at night, when the translucent 1/16th inch triangulated polypropylene panels that make up the structure appear to glow from within. Half of the panels open up, allowing for ample air circulation as well as a gorgeous lightshow during sunset when the treehouse casts purple-ish shadows. All the materials used for the treehouse are entirely recycled – and while the original O2 Sustainability Treehouse ^[5] is 13 feet wide, interiors and sizes can be customized according to customer specifications.

We’ve mentioned the O2 Sustainability Treehouse ^[6] before, but recently spotted these gorgeous new photos and wanted to highlight them again.
