Whole Tree Design

I would love a home build with whole trees. The concept is to help save the destruction of more trees by creating an ecological system using trees that are no larger than 10 inches in diameter. These trees are removed from clients site or trees that have been downed by weather or disease. For 16 years, Roald Gundersun has been researching this technique of building homes to substain the environment. In my eyes, these homes have been transformed into beautiful ecological skeletal pieces of art. I am sure these homes smell treely rustic!

I'd love such a place! Absolutely wonderful with the non-linearity and organic feel to it.

Now I'm seriously considering a tree or branch going from floor to ceiling as an accent somewhere in the apartment. About a month ago I started getting stuff together at home so in the mood for interior decoration ideas :)
