House Porn 13: The Treehouse

The Wilkinson residence in Portland, Oregon is an example of a house purpose built to be non-fungible. The architect Robert Harvey Orchatz built it around the clients pastimes: the viola, choral singing, friends who enjoy gourmet cooking, and a desire to make ice cream on a large deck.

Apparently, it was constructed largely with intern labor.

Often, these organic buildings look too hippy-dippy or overly conceptual to be really comfortable, but I could imagine living here.
