Imagine a place where the art of building tree houses blends with the magic of nature. Daniel Dufour’s Treehousess invite you to explore a suspended universe, where imagination comes to life in every sketch and watercolor.
Havens of peace and adventure
With this beautiful book, discover secret hideaways, aerial castles, and pirate lairs, all perched in the trees. Each illustration celebrates creativity and the spirit of adventure, inviting young and old alike to dream and rediscover their inner child.
The expertise and vision of enthusiasts
Former artistic director of Vogue magazine, Daniel Dufour has sketched hundreds of treehouses and selected the most iconic ones for this book. The work is enriched by Sylvain Tesson, writer and traveler, whose writing resonates with the connection between nature and imagination, and by Alain Laurens, builder of nearly 500 treehouses around the world, who shares his golden rules for building without ever harming the trees.
An invitation to dream and create
Treehouses is not just a book of watercolors: it is an ode to creativity and nature, an aerial journey where each page opens the door to new ideas and wonder.
Alain Laurens, founder of La Cabane perchée, has built nearly 500 treehouses in a dozen countries, following one absolute rule: never damage the tree. Inspired by a childhood dream, he now creates treehouse habitats that combine art, respect for life, and imagination.
Painter, illustrator, and former artistic director of Vogue France, Daniel Dufour (1940–2017) was co-founder of La Cabane Perchée and author of travel journals and books.
A travel writer, Sylvain Tesson is the author of adventure and nature stories, including Dans les forêts de Sibérie (In the Forests of Siberia, winner of the Prix Médicis essay prize) and Une vie à coucher dehors (A Life Spent Outdoors, winner of the Goncourt prize for short stories). Winner of the 2019 Prix Renaudot for La Panthère des neiges (The Snow Leopard), he explores the world and wild spaces through his books.
