Tree Huts, Tree Houses by Tadashi Kawamata

The Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata is well known for his architectural installations made from simple materials, recycled items such as chairs, cardboard boxes..... Selected item becomes the basic module of a huge construction. One of his newest creations are wooden huts hanging like wasp's nests between the beams and pillars of the structural facade of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Quite unique...

    Huts give you that homey feel and extra comfort a traditional room can't give you. It is also a great place to keep you cool during hot days.
