This Treehouse is Stacked!

A Flickr photo from orange sibyl of a tree house made from stacked driftwood. The bouys and ropes in the picture suggests its located on an ocean beach somewhere.

Her friend jesse, pictured, built the platform by laying pieces of wood across large branches, close to the trunk, and bits of found rope to cinch them tight.

It looks like he continued this non-invasive technique across four or five trees to make the foundation. The deck floor appears to be solid plywood and 2x6 construction and it look like he's ready to build the shelter on there.

I like that the posts on the left come together like the prow of a ship. Sometimes I find the most simple, improvised designs, can turn out the most elegant. And, this structure has the added advantage of being removable (by hand or by a large storm) without residual damage to the trees.
