Egg-Shaped Tree House

This tree house is made by carpenter Joel Allen from reclaimed materials and some of them have come from Craigslist.

The tree house sits amongst Canadian Hemlock from which it takes its name, The HemLoft. It was kept a secret for three years as he built it on crown land in Whistler, Canada.

With the help of his friends Mark and Jayne, who recently graduated from architecture school, they set about making designs for the tree house. Eventually, a suggestion about the shape of an egg was the catalyst for the final design. An egg shape would be elegant, organic and unique.

Joel is now left in a bit of a predicament having made the existence of this tiny home very public in a glossy design magazine article.
