Purchase options and add-ons

In Exceptional Treehouses, author and treehouse builder Alain Laurens reveals 30 gorgeous treehouse structures, 25 of which are entirely new creations, all illustrated with Daniel Dufour’s beautiful watercolors as well as photographs by Jacques Delacroix, commissioned specially for this book.
As in his first book, Treehouse Living, Laurens demonstrates his commitment to sustainable building and environmentalism with his designs, all executed with ecological ideals in mind. In 2000 Laurens started his company, La Cabane Perchée, to design and build treehouses around Europe. Each house takes into account the local environment, as well as the tree in which the structure stands, and the photographs show details of how the treehouses are constructed without driving nails into any part of the host tree. Exceptional Treehouses is the perfect inspiration for treehouse lovers, eco-friendly architects, and enthusiastic amateurs.

This book has many great photos as well as nice short descriptions of each project.

Because it is a collection of one companies work the style and building techniques are similar in all the projects. It is interesting to see how they applied their style to many different situations.

The design drawings at the end are quite charming.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare pleasure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2015
Verified Purchase
It is such a pleasure to find examples of inspirational design and craftsmanship and this book certainly falls firmly into these categories. Even if you are not familiar with the construction principles involved I do not think there are many people who would not fail to be impressed and want a treehouse after turning the first page of this book. Structures such as these add an aspect to the construction landscape that in the UK has become a rarity with cost and profit lying at the heart of design. For those involved in timber work the staircases in these photographs are truly exceptional and a work of art.

You will not regret buying this book and well done to the company involved - exceptional without question!
