Las Casitas
This tree house is nestled into a grove of cedar trees outside of Austin, Texas. The house is elevated off the ground on steel columns that blend into the surrounding tree trunks. The skin of the trapezoidal floating box is untreated cedar. The open slats of the wood screen allow light to pass through and the box glows like a lantern in the night. Inside the tree house, unexpected pops of bright color create a hidden and whimsical world. There are an infinite number of ways to engage the imagination—including slides, ladders, and a secret hatch. The structure encourages a sense of adventure through outdoor play, independence, and a connection to nature.
