# Living in a Tree The One Log Home By Bianca | Published 2008-12-03 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-in-a-tree-the-one-log-home References: [offbeathomes](http://www.offbeathomes.com/the-one-log-home/) & [waymarking](http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3J1H) Wood paneled houses are so 70s, and living in a pipe, well, that's already been done in the form of the pay-what-you-want Park Hotel in Austria. The [odd piece of architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-nest) in the gallery, however, combines the uniquest elements of both peculiar home styles: it's the One Log Home, literally a [hollowed out redwood tree](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burl-treehouse). Tarped with a gloriously hideous, albeit undoubtedly necessary green sheet, the [unique wood home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/91-cedar-house) is found outside the *Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum* in St. Augustine. Good thing it's in Florida, because anywhere colder and it would get mighty tempting to light a fire come winter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Non-traditional Housing:** With the rise of alternative forms of housing, such as living in a tree, there is a growing trend towards unconventional living spaces. - **Unique Architecture:** The One Log Home highlights the trend of architects and designers creating unique structures that defy traditional building practices. - **Sustainable Living:** Hollowing out a redwood tree to turn it into a living space promotes sustainable living by repurposing natural materials for human habitation. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** The construction industry can explore new ways to use natural resources, such as trees, to create unique and sustainable housing options. - **Tourism:** The One Log Home's location outside a Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum highlights the opportunity for tourism industries to incorporate unique and unconventional accommodations into their offerings. - **Design:** The design industry can take advantage of the trend of unique architecture to create structures that not only serve a practical purpose but also act as works of art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Wooden Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piil.md) - [Cartoonish Tubular Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubular-treehouse.md) - [Vaulted Structural Telescopic Treehouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistree-home.md) - [Rainforest Lodged Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-lodging-in-the-pige.md) - [Olive Tree-Centric Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twentieth-house.md) - [Solar Powered Luxe Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baltic.md) - [Repurposed Wooden Shoreside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-house-by-the-lake.md) - [Weatherized Visual Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hundred-acre-wood.md) - [Stilts-Reading Suspended Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hole-with-the-house-around.md)
