Brentwood Tree House

A very atypical tree house – When a 40-year-old pine tree fell over, its owner let it lie. However the tree revived itself. At that point, the owner decided to honor its resilience by incorporating it into a modern 172 sq. foot office/guesthouse. ( Check out more images after the jump!)
While most tree houses have a trunk running vertically, this structure floats above the tree. The Brentwood Tree House is located on the top of a hill and overlooks downtown Los Angeles, California.
I like how the house has those slanted metal supports running vertically from floor-to-ceiling, kind of mirroring how a traditional treehouse would have the trunk supporting it vertically. Cool idea overall.
