Gorgeous timber home stretches vertically into the forest
A modern take on the tree house Casa Flotante (?floating house?) is exactly as advertised: a gorgeous, timber home that appears to float in the surrounding forest. Mexican architecture firm Talleresque designed the sophisticated take on a treehouse in a lush Mexico City neighborhood.
The house stretches vertically into the tree canopy, like a giant, illuminated tree trunk. The frame sits on nine stilts, creating 936 square feet of living space. A floating timber staircase wraps around the outside of the house and is the main passageway for getting from level to level.

On the ground floor, the multi-purpose living room opens out onto an expansive deck. Indoors, there?s a kitchenette, desk, and plenty of room for a drum kit. The bedroom is on the third floor, where a row of skylights offers a peek of the flora.

All of the levels have large windows and platforms that open out onto the forest, making the house feel like it?s one with the trees.
