house in the trees?
I caught the last 10 minutes, its getting more architectural content rather than opulent palace, no objections... if it inspires more imaginative housing then great, but really needs the planners to relax and allow variety rather than the stereotypical duplicity.

That was not a tree house though, it was a house built on low stilts amongst some trees.

Good on them, but a tree house is built on top of a tree.

Methinks either their adult bedroom, or one of the several "snug" spaces will end up getting converted to bedroom duty. Did seem odd that they had two boys already and didn't plan expansion space for them to get their own rooms in time.

Lovely job though - really liked that one.
