WaldGartenDorf

Growing homes out of living trees is the main theme in the project "WaldGartenDorf" in the middle of Germany. Trees are incredible living beings. With their roots deep in the earth, branches high in the sky, and with leaves straight to the sunlight, they stand there for decades and centuries on the same location. They are real living estates.

Yes, or better probably, because the mainstream habits are difficult to satisfy in living rooms. We must adapt a bit to the trees if we want to live with, on or in them. The trees grow bigger and the wall will close in some years:
