# Fruit-Shaped Treehouses This Treehouse is Shaped Like an Apple & Features a Periscope for Spying By Erica Francis | Published 2016-08-11 | Updated 2016-08-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-shaped References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/anders-berensson-architects-apple-headquarter-treehouse-sweden-08-11-2016/) & [andersberenssonarchitects](http://andersberenssonarchitects.com/) Sweden-based 'Anders Berensson Architects' created a unique [fruit-shaped treehouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-camp) on top of a dead apple tree. As one might guess, the treehouse -- aptly named '[Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foster-partners4) Headquarter' -- takes the shape of an apple. The plywood-made house looks like something one would see in a fairytale like 'Alice in Wonderland' or at [Disney World](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-disney-collection). Apple Headquarter is virtually see-through with its frame being the major design element of the structure. The treehouse also has windows and furniture like a bench and bookcase. There's even a periscope that is hidden inside the rotating stem of the apple; it's similar to periscopes in submarines. The fruit-shaped Apple Headquarter treehouse would delight both children and adults. The architects behind it show their creativity and intelligence through the adult-sized child-like structure.
