The diversity of design, materials, and locales we humans inhabit is wonder-full. Here’s a good sampling of the humble, sweet, interesting, weird and gorgeous places we live, including some houses in trees that are way beyond tree-houses..
Where I know, I label place and photographer. If anyone recognizes something unlabeled or incorrectly labeled, I invite comments. There are many I would surely visit if only I knew where to go.
