The Ultimate Portable Treehouse

The Ultimate Portable Treehouse

The Ultimate Portable Treehouse
17 February 2015

If you stumble across one of these in the forest, don't be alarmed. It's not the start of an alien invasion.

This UFO-shaped domicile is in fact a Dom’Up treehouse, the ultimate woodland hideaway.

The Dom’Up offers glamping, but is designed with the welfare of the forest in mind.

Unlike run-of-the-mill treehouses, the octagonal cabin can be securely fastened in place without causing damage to the trees themselves.

The cabin-slash-tent offers 16 square meters of space, and can be erected in two days, requiring just two trees for support. There is a waterproof roof, canvas walls and an open area that serves as a balcony, meaning you can sleep inside or out, depending on the weather.

Plus, if you fall out with your camping-partner, you can always kick them out and draw up the ladder. Bonus. 

The Dom'Up costs around £18,000, and is available from Belgian design company Trees & People.
