Most Unusual and Futuristic Tree Houses

When it comes to building a dream home, there is nothing like a treetop dwelling. Tree-houses have come a long way from the simple wooden box your parents hanged for you in the garden. A number of designers and architects, deriving inspiration from nature, have come up with some of the most unique tree-house designs that are not just beautiful to look at but comfortable to live in. Equipped with the luxuries of modern residential apartments, these tree-houses are truly a place to reckon with.

Here are some of the most unusual and futuristic tree houses designs around the globe.
