The Tree House which has the feeling of ‘floating inside the forest’, is fully integrated with the imposing Araucaria trees typical of the Rio Grande do Sul mountains.

A deck at one end of the tree house looks out into the trees and expands the small living space. The deck is also made from Eucalyptus wood.

The interior of the tree house is just 538 sqft (50 sqm) and is lined with marine plywood, a look that recalls minimalist Scandinavian architecture.
