HP Tree House

Posted by

Want to feel like a rich ewok or some other lucky tree-dwelling creature? The HP Tree House is a residential home in a densely forested area of  Mount Whitfield, Australia. The house is designed by MMP Architects and supported by a galvanized steel support framework to minimize impact on the surrounding vegetation.

An eco-friendly focus is carried through in the houses’ system of PV panels that direct the solar power to heat the water. Other durable materials such as colorbond steel, aluminum windows and a steel structure helps to reduce future maintenance on the building along with low VOC paints, sustainably grown wood and locally sourced stone.
