She says 4 years like that is a long time. All I can think is with two people that is honestly astonishing. 4 years for a project of that size and scope? Amazing.

This is such an inspiring home, a true habitat that mixes people and the environment. I especially love the fact that they built it around all of the trees so that none were lost. Such amazing vision and use of recycled materials gives me hope that we can save the planet. Thank you! Keith

Problem though as the trees grow and die she mentioned. I would have cleared "some" or pre-planned. I can't believe she said "that tree is dead, but it will fall the other way".

Wow I helped build the floors in this house. So cool to see it finished.

I'm amazed by the level of 'on the fly' creativity and innovation that went into this, just incredible.

theres something incredible about glass and nature....

Love this house, especially now that she's explained how they put it together with acquired materials. I too have 7 wind screen glass panels on my 2nd story side porch acquired from used patio doors. They aren't insulated but are tempered. Make sure you always get tempered glass if you use replacement glass. People will give you old glass doors but the really old ones are dangerous when they break. You can tell because somewhere in one corner there will be a bug/logo which tells you it's tempered. Thanks for showing this. I especially love the diving board used as a counter top. Awesome!

Thankyou Mary and Carlos for sharing your beautiful home, and Kirsten for always asking the right questions. Though not easy, this is absolutely the correct way to do a treehouse. My heart sank when I recently saw an Airbnb which used three large Cypress trees to support it and its deck (who's going to want to stay in a place that will soon be tilted and intimate with three dying trees?). Most in the building sector have to be extra resourceful during recessions but at 66, I can say that this is the most imaginative response/solution that I'm aware of. Your massive, but delicate, balanced doors are gorgeous. I've never seen vertical trusses used on pivot doors before. They are ingenious because their angles absolutely strengthen your aesthetic while at the same time allow the central pivot to be delicate as well.

Breathtaking, LOVE LOVE LOVE this home!!! I would never want to leave. Wish we could see more about your parking situation and actually walking up to the home, for friends or deliveries, etc. Would love a video while it's thunder storming and snowing! Thank you for sharing this beauty.

Just an amazing work of ART...!!! I'm sure your labors of love were well worth it after seeing the end results you are sharing with us via this video. Congratulations on a job well done and thank you for the inspiration you have birthed to us all.

I can honestly say i have never seen any video about a house which inspired me more than this one. You two deserve every good fortune. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic. Definitely one of my favorites.

What is so amazing and commendable is the respect they have for the land and the trees, which makes their home so beautiful.

I LOVE that they're willing to modify the house to accommodate the trees if they grow/expand instead of harming them. 💚🌳

I wonder what the building permitting was like..?. What about winter in Atlanta, it gets cold,what do you do for heat?..

Amazing Architecture works. These two are Genius. The growing trees intimidate, however, in between, they are enjoying the Organic Nature of their surroundings while accepting the risks. Extremely daring and courageous, their rewards are many. I will be seeing this video over and over and sharing it for inspiration on so many levels.

I adore the brother that told her he would not change the beams 😂 such a responsable engineer, like safety is the first thing on a project.

Wow. This is very close to what I fantasize about building for myself. I love metal, glass, light, and the canopy of the trees. You've made a remarkable video. Thank you so much!

you can rent this house on airbnb... all or part.. I think it's great and kudos to them for their tenacity during that very rough time.. :)

I think this house is glorious. I would love to experience the different seasons in it. Open those all of those huge doors and windows on a warm breezy day and hear the leaves rustle or snuggle up during a storm and watch the rain come down all around you. Its amazing how they created something so beautiful on a piece of land nobody wanted with second hand material. You had me at the front door but is was the diving board that sealed the deal!!!

I'm a architect and I have to say this a Masterpiece 👏

i do love the 2x6 on edge floors, great use of material, good sound attenuation, and creative engineering.

Wow, that place is amazing! I could totally see myself living there. And kudos to them for pulling it off themselves and with so much "found" materials that would have otherwise gone to waste!

OUTSTANDING build!!!! These creative souls are right in their element. This was riviting, Kirsten! You, my friend, have a most exceptional job...& your kids are reaping the benefits, as well.

How wonderful that it all came together, just the way you want, with everything as it came to you. The most visually pleasing and effective with so much care for the existing trees. Glass is so much more superior to brick or filled in walls. The web look of the structure looks light.

Having watched your videos for quite awhile now, it finally dawned on me what an amazing perspective your kids must have on housing having seen so many wonderful living spaces. Could maybe you think about doing a video some time on your kids and what their favorite houses were? Hearing from children can be a great and interesting different POV and your kids like I said likely have a very unique POV.

Well I think the trees around the house are alive just because of decoration purpose under the slogan of blending in with nature. Nothing more than that, unless they are truly into environmental life because all the wooden floors and furniture, and materials made from modern construction industry in that house were possible only by cutting down hundreds trees.

@@user-sl309jd90 Don't hate on the use of real wood. Sustainability is not as straight forward as not cutting down trees. If all building materials were made out of fake material then you would have a lot of non-biodegradable items in the trash/landfill. Meanwhile using real wood is biodegradable and some tree species replanted can mature in ~30 years. Obviously we can't use real wood on every single facet of construction or we'd be out of trees, but you get the point.

As someone who grew up poor in small houses, I could never have a house that is too big

I absolutely love the glass doors in the home that, I guess for a lack of description, I could call glass doors on a pivot; the entire feel of the building is so incredibly light and integrates beautifully with the immediate nature outside the home. This home is certainly one of the more interesting homes!

My favorite ideas in this ingenuous aboded are pivot hinges, hidden grilles and the process of acquiring glass. You can paint wood or mosaic design over the inner drawer exposed hardware.

I love that they're like "yeah the tree got too close when we started to build higher so we'll just cut out part of the house when it starts to get too big." This is the kind of world I want to live in lol. Laid back and respectful of nature.

This is just the best. It's my favourite house on here so far. The same goes for Mary and Carlos. Very sympathetic people.

what a beautiful place and the lady who owns the house seems like she would be cool to talk to. I also like how they incorporated the trees without cutting them down. they built around nature not the other way that's how it should be. Very cool video enjoyed it would love to live in a house like that! Oh and they also use things here and there to make the house as cool as it is.

They will take a part of the house to make room for the tree!! That is such a powerful statement.. great people

Soooo, only 2 people built this thing, that looks like something out of a magazine, around scrap glass and hardware, producing architecture marvels like insanely gorgeous pivoting doors I’ve never seen before ... these people are incredible. I’m amazed.

The most interesting project yet. necessity is the mother of invention!

this house is amazing! they did so much with different material , experiencing with almost anything , I am preparing to built a dream home/studio , and to see someone just salvage so many things shows more then just imagination , its going beyond what building is , like something out of the future

Such a beautiful home! What gifted people!

That is one of the most amazing houses I've ever seen.

It makes me feel cold. I like the pivoting doors. I like the fact that they built around the trees. I also love the salvaged elements of it. But it feels cold and dark and lacks privacy or cosiness despite the insulated glass quality. Respect for getting it together.

I wanted to book this house on Airbnb and the owners never reached out but finding this, years later makes me want to try again now.
