I have to start this with the tiniest and coolest dream of a 5 year old's house. Riding bikes back from dinner in Ft Collins this tree house caught my eye as the top of it slightly peered over the roof of a not so tiny house. We stopped to grab a photo on the sly and as we were busted by the owner he invited us to climb in!
Style notes:
- using the tree not only as the foundation of the house but as part of the ladder. Hell YES!
- Partially barred windows to keep you 5 yr old from fall this far!
Although it lacks key elements that we need like bike storage and a kitchen, who doesn't like a zip line to the front ladder?!
We're finding more and more that tiny houses aren't uncommon, especially in a town with blue collar mining roots. Houses like these are on every block in the Old Town neighborhood Fort Collins. Gentrification has hit this area of FOCO and there seems to be slightly less massive expansion of the houses themselves then there is in Charlottesville. This is what I imagine the houses in Belmont in Charlottesville would look like if there weren't so many flipped house projects and deals.
