The Ultimate Tree House

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring IMAGES A. Masow Architects

Kazakh architect Aibek Almassov, of A. Masow Architects, is behind the design of this striking conceptual home.

Made from glass, this tubular structure brings the outside in with the inclusion of a fir tree located in the centre of the space.

Initially designed in 2013, Aibek has now found the potential investors he needs to construct this four-storey home, which he has entitled Tree in the House.

“The main purpose of this project is to offer an alternative to the bustle of city life,” says Aibek. He carries on to explain how he wanted to combine the capabilities of modern industrial design with natural wealth and beauty. “This is an opportunity to escape from the sweltering concrete boxes and feel the present unity with nature.” More importantly, he adds, it doesn’t harm the environment.
