Courtesy of our friends at Inhabitat.com, I present for your consideration the living treehouse.

Flexible plants, such as ficus, are grown around a lattice structure and molded into powerful, natural (even edible) shapes, like arches, creating a framework around which mossy green walls are grown. Gone are the energy-intensive chainsaws, sawmills, and trucks. Gone are the harmful plastics and landfill waste. What you have instead is a beautiful, harmonious truly natural habitat—a domicile one of those high-falutin’ Elfs from Lord of the Rings wouldn’t turn up her nose at. And I don’t have to tell you—Elfs are picky.
