From the outside, this rustic home resembles the small treehouse that served as a sanctuary during childhood. However, this house is unlike other treehouses with its contemporary design and large, open concept.
Designed by Bates Masi Architects, the entire interior of this treehouse is covered in wood, from wall panels to flooring, and serves as a focal point for the home.
