A Turkish civil engineer from the northeastern province of Artvin built a suite apartment on a pine tree in his courtyard.
Osman Kaba, 55, said he built the “tree house" on the request of his children.
The 18-square-meter house that can be compared with a suite apartment includes a toilet, washroom, a living room and bedroom. The octagonal shaped house is about six meters from the surface and can be weigh around 30 tons. The conical roof was colored with red, blue and green glasses.
Kaba also used glasses on all sides of the house that can provide a charming landscape view of his village.
The construction of the house that can be dubbed as “glass house" costs 30,000 Turkish lira (approximately $10,100), Kaba said.
“I made the house on pine branches without harming the tree. It takes six months to complete the house," he added.
Kaba noted that people from around Turkey came to visit his “tree house".
“They feel happy after seeing my house. And I feel happy after seeing their pleasure. That's enough for me," the owner said.
Some visitors expressed their desire to stay in the house, while some others had a positive reaction after visiting the house, according to Kaba.
