I was impressed by these structures designed by the architect Buckminster Fuller. His structures are now appearing across Hollywood. These geodesic domes are created and suspended in trees which do not require drilling into the tree and so move with the tree. One structure totals at $20,000 and as the architect says "there's lots of creative people - with lots of money" so there has obviously been plenty of freedom within the design process.
This is simply a glorified tree house as was it's original purpose for wildlife spotting. However, this by no means loses any of its interest to me. Having access to a market this wealthy and interested could give you the freedom to really push the materials, structural complexity and scale. There could be more affordable adjustments and re purposing involved afterwards. I would hope to have this luxury someday in order to push the boundaries and then reign in according to key design and contextual issues.
