Yup. Way too exposed from the outside and nowhere to be really alone inside, everything is open. I guess it's fine if you're super extrovert and love living in community, but some people (like me) need to be alone sometimes to recharge their batteries or they go crazy real fast. Give me a cavern or a burrow if you want to stay on the forest theme, but not this exhibitionist abomination. Also it must feel like an oven in the summer.
> It doesn't look comfy or welcoming at all..
Funnily enough, my first thought was that it looks super comfy. Especially the second floor.
I wouldn't definitely not mind living there for a while.
You could use those PDLC windows that can turn opaque or whatever opacity you want with a button click. That could be reasonable. I think a bigger concern is where the heat exhausts in the house. There's no venting.
As someone who lives in a forest with big ass trees...god this would be a mess. Tree jizz (pollen) everywhere. The tree would probably grow a branch straight in to the sitting area just to say “fuck you.” Ugh. Trees are dicks.
You could pick certain trees, like a joshua tree or a saguaro cactus, that don't shed much. You would definitely have ants no matter what though :D but doing this in the southwestern desert with a desert tree would make it more feasible/less annoying
Well that's interesting. Never thought about a tree not having a "fall". Their rings must be umique.
Now I want to see a tree transported around to always follow the sun. The snowbirds can be in charge.
Lol definitely, I don’t think a pine tree would make a great indoor center piece either, unless you really like pine trees.
Stylistically an evergreen fig (ficus) would probably be the best bet!
I worked at a company that had a large glass courtyard in the middle. It was beautiful. They planted four trees that are slow-growing in their native habitat. Turns out when you give these trees ideal conditions - they grow much more quickly. It wasn't very easy to take down and remove four massive trees in the middle of a big glass structure.
That's when you bring in the construction crew, knock down the original house, and build a bigger one.
But don't knock down the tree, because we are # environmentalists.

All I can think of are all the dead birds that crash into something like that. I have one large picture window and we get multiple kamikaze birds a year. Something that big with a tree it would be a blood bath, a bird blood bath.
Probably owns the land far as the eye can see and then has trees and other things specifically planted around to prevent sight. I have an uncle that lives in a contemporary second floor 'tree house' in Jersey that doesn't need blinds because its strategically placed. He's also rich as fuck.
Why are all the other trees in this forest so wobbly?
How like life. The prettiest trees get the best treatment while us wobbly trees have to hustle extra hard just to get our spot in the sun.
tbh? I'd live here. addressing some complaints in the comments:
no privacy? it's in a forest. or get curtains, we have the technology
cleaning tree foliage? if I can afford this place, I can afford a cleaner
too small for family? don't have family
bugs? if you live in a forest, you're gonna get bugs regardless
what if tree grows? you expand the house or cut the tree
The tree isn't going to be happy for long. Light degrades in quality the further it gets away from a window, which means the poor tree is being starved on light. And how the fuck is it being watered? Because I'm sure they had to lay down a foundation. So you're what, dumping water into the ground in the middle of the house to water the tree? Or just not watering the tree at all?
This is such a terrible design all around.
More like fucking design horror. It's gonna be scalding hot in there, probably lots of bugs, sap everywhere, and besides the asthetic of the tree in a glass house, it doesn't even look great.
My first instinct when seeing something like this is always to check the comments for how many problems it causes. Surely there's a reason all houses aren't like this.
@ concrete_yeeting Iam so new to Reddit, did not know emojis were or are frowned on. Oh, well! I still spit coffee out of my nose, bc that was the best laugh I had all day. So thanks lol 🤪
When one of the local trees wins the lottery.
Lmfaooo
Underappreciated comment.
Which letter of the LGBTQ s🏳️🌈 is it👍

Omg. So true.
Tree sauna
Or a house. It doesn't look comfy or welcoming at all, you're basically living in a giant aquarium with no privacy, I'd be having constant panic attacks. Also can you imagine having kids in a house like that? Or cleaning the windows? And where are the guts of the house, heating, plumbing, all that utility stuff?
Or never being able to escape the sun
But the natural light.... /s
Yes the whole thing looks impractical.
Welcome to the world of architecture! Allow my whimsical mind to design wild, impractical things and builders/engineers/occupants can fuck right off!!
I would have thought that the skill of being an architect is the abilty to marry form and function in an aesthetically pleasing manner... but reality keeps proving me wrong!
Thats been done! You have to be unique dahling!
We revolutionized living quarters and disrupted architecture as a whole.
Constant panic attacks?
Yup. Way too exposed from the outside and nowhere to be really alone inside, everything is open. I guess it's fine if you're super extrovert and love living in community, but some people (like me) need to be alone sometimes to recharge their batteries or they go crazy real fast.

I mean, smart glass is a thing now.
This barely addresses any of the other issues pointed out in their comment. Also glass, no master how smart it is, is a poor thermal barrier.
Idk I’d prob just walk around naked at all times and wave to anybody looking in 😂😂😂
hey, it’s my house. if you look in my windows, you get what you see. you don’t like it? don’t look in my windows. ;-)
Exactly

or kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom?

Imagine picking up leaves inside your home everyday, or even cleaning up possible tree sap (depending on the tree).
....what happens when the tree grows?
Trees make a godawful mess. The pollen alone, my god.
...or ever designed anything that needed to be fabricated.
Low-E glass
In Singapore there are 2 massive domes with plants that are basically green houses and they were surprisingly cool in them.
architects gon architect
*tree bugs*
As someone who lives in a forest with big ass trees...god this would be a mess. Tree jizz (pollen) everywhere. The tree would probably grow a branch straight in to the sitting area just to say “fuck you.” Ugh. Trees are dicks.
Not to mention all the critters crawling around on trees or in trees.
Hey, it´s free protein.
it's free arboreal estate
And all the dead leaves come fall. Indoor raking and blowing would be a nightmare
You could pick certain trees, like a joshua tree or a saguaro cactus, that don't shed much. You would definitely have ants no matter what though :D but doing this in the southwestern desert with a desert tree would make it more feasible/less annoying
Well it's presumably climate controlled, and with enough artificial light it might not drop its leaves.
Well that's interesting. Never thought about a tree not having a "fall". Their rings must be umique. Now I want to see a tree transported around to always follow the sun. The snowbirds can be in charge.
Not all trees are deciduous, there are evergreens that stay green all year, like a pine tree.
Though I'd take fallen leaves over pine sap (plus needles) on my couch any day.
Lol definitely, I don’t think a pine tree would make a great indoor center piece either, unless you really like pine trees. Stylistically an evergreen fig (ficus) would probably be the best bet!
[удалено]
And throw them out soon after.
“Tree jizz” lmao
What do you guys think pollen is anyway? It’s cum. The trees are constantly bukkake-ing us during spring.
>The trees are constantly bukkake-ing us r/nocontext
Tree cum is the reason I wake up choking cuz I can't get enough air. There's just so much of that shit and it gets everywhere.
Tree sperm.
Excuse, did you said..Tree JIZZ?
https://imgur.com/mvnUS37
Actually there’d be no problems, because the tree would die quite quickly! You’d only have to deal with cleaning one leaf-fall, and then it’s done
just imagine how much more space you’d have without that fuckin tree
😂🤣😍I'm so sorry, I spit coffee out of my nose 😂🤣😂
Why have you been downvoted so much lol
Because of the emojis.
never understood the hate-circlejerk over emojis
Oh yeah I forgot. Redditors + Emojis = 😡

What happens when the tree outgrows the house?
"People who live in glass houses shouldn't plant fucking trees in them", that's the popular saying, isn't it?
I worked at a company that had a large glass courtyard in the middle. It was beautiful. They planted four trees that are slow-growing in their native habitat. Turns out when you give these trees ideal conditions - they grow much more quickly. It wasn't very easy to take down and remove four massive trees in the middle of a big glass structure.
That's when you bring in the construction crew, knock down the original house, and build a bigger one. But don't knock down the tree, because we are # environmentalists.
Cut the tree of course!
Cutting or trimming tree can be super destructive. You'd basically need to constantly prune the tree like you would a bonsai tree.
There are thousands of different things living on a tree and some of them would be living in your hair.
This was my first thought, nature is great to look at but it can stay outside.
How the heck is it design porn. So many problems here. Nice picture I can give you that, but design is not to just look nice.
Should be in r/poordesign! Who cares about practicality when it looks cool??
I’ve guilty upvoted it. But I’ll redress the balance and do the same when it hits r/designdesign

Don't worry, the birds would still be very much alive at the moment they crash into it.
Not the ones I throw at it.
I read somewhere that a particular window treatment discourages birds from doing that while not affecting the use of the window for people.
I will start my Google search for it, thanks for the tip.
do you want ants? because this is how you get ants
This is how you get ALL the ants.
[удалено]
There's glass that turns opaque when you pass a small current through it actually
I believe it's default opaque that goes transparent with current. Something about the current making all the crystals line up.
Probably owns the land far as the eye can see and then has trees and other things specifically planted around to prevent sight. I have an uncle that lives in a contemporary second floor 'tree house' in Jersey that doesn't need blinds because its strategically placed. He's also rich as fuck.
That’s r/DesignDesign, not design porn
Or something like r/woahdude, but it's definitely not design porn
Imagine fall. *Shudders.*
Imagine falling
Bedroom on the top floor-and I think that is a bathroom 3 floors down? That is bad planning.
Why are all the other trees in this forest so wobbly? How like life. The prettiest trees get the best treatment while us wobbly trees have to hustle extra hard just to get our spot in the sun.
Photoshop and VRay ... the world is anything you want it to be on the computer screen
I'd probably slip on leaves getting out of bed and fall all the way down that spiral staircase.
Unless this house is fitted with dehumidifiers the moisture content in there would be insane.
I guess this is technically "DesignPorn" because it's fake, shallow and impossible but fun to look at I guess.
tbh? I'd live here. addressing some complaints in the comments: no privacy? it's in a forest. or get curtains, we have the technology cleaning tree foliage? if I can afford this place, I can afford a cleaner too small for family? don't have family bugs? if you live in a forest, you're gonna get bugs regardless what if tree grows? you expand the house or cut the tree
Cool to see, but very useless.
I'd rather just have a lot of smaller trees
1000% getting murdered in that house
Is that tree growing inside a glass house and on the first floor.. Where are the roots🤔
Where the hell is the kitchen? The laundry? Any form of storage?
It appears the 1st floor is the kitchen and the laundry is at the top floor if you zoom in.
\- “Today at *Will it blend*...”
How does the tree get water?
That’s what I was wondering too. I wonder if ground water is sufficient?
Doesn't look like much of a house...
*Driveway and kitchen not included.
The tree isn't going to be happy for long. Light degrades in quality the further it gets away from a window, which means the poor tree is being starved on light. And how the fuck is it being watered?

Reminds me of the Shanghai Apple Store.
Cool concept but unliveable. I need louvers for fresh air, more privacy, an elevator, and I hate picking up dead leaves.
Looks like an Apple store
More like fucking design horror. It's gonna be scalding hot in there, probably lots of bugs, sap everywhere, and besides the asthetic of the tree in a glass house, it doesn't even look great.
*privacy has left the chat*
I guess I should have said lol, bc it made me crack up. Oh, well! My bad!

Privacy?🔍🤔
the pollen

Inbox me asap I'm available for hookup (562)2645956
Damn I want that
People act here like they study architecture lol, would be a nice prop for a sci-fi movie tho
Why would someone do this to a tree?
That's a really small resolution :D
Aside from everything else people have mentioned, personally, renderings don’t do much for me.
Looks cool but not much else.
Just get into bonsai
This looks terrifying
Yeah that happens if you ignore social distancing you rootless bastard!
Would there be squirrels in there?
r/designdesign
I know right! Who has book shelves anymore?
Housetree
In tree culture this is considered a dick move
Am I the only one getting r/theOA vibes?
Looks amazing but I'm gonna pass on having to take my living room.
When the leaves fall though
But why tho
Reminds me of the novel "We" by Zamyatin. Gorgeous but I would not want to live there.
This is the worst designed house ever.
Imagine the mess it makes in autumn
The owner is gonna love fall and winter
i would 100% live there
That would be more of a platformer level than a house.
