Real Treehouses
There is not a single building in the year 2025 which is a real house in a tree.
After almost 30 years in the field of Architecture and Engineering, TrueSchool Treehouses is still the only company worldwide, that has mastered the discipline of ultra light-weight construction. It is prerequisite for the construction of large buildings high above the ground.
The relation of weight, size and height is the hidden door to real treehouse construction and one out of many stand-alone characteristics of TrueSchools engineered Treehouses.
Giant trees
The fantastic Treehouse experience unfolds in the wilderness. At least one mysterious, giant old tree is required to create a landmark and provide atmosphere. There is a variety of exceptionally tall, bulky and resilient trees (wildfire- flooding- earthquake safe).
Trees can be “created” by growing climbers over a tower-like structure. TST has been developing such SuperTrees since 2006.
Therefore we can offer any type of Treehouse, no matter the architectural style, size and weight - anywhere in the world from cold- temperate to subtropical climates. We can create biodiverse forests in less than 5 years based on these engineered Supertrees.
Technology
We have specialized in construction physics and buildings technology since 2004 and offer fully self-sufficient buildings for all parts of the world. Our patented innovations like ventilation with ultra-high-efficient heat recovery are indispensable for small treehouses and to realize buildings without central heating or use of primary energy (fossil fuels or biomass).
We developed a Jute fiber-reinforced polymeric material, load-adaptive and prestressed construction profiles / inter-seasonal heat storage system, Close-Loop water- and nutrient systems including water-treatment, fodder and food production / an energy-free elevator and many more.
Forest City
26 years ago, the founder of TrueSchool wrote a manifest. A study on the practical application of Treehouses for urban development, but also a paradigm for 3 things required to save life on this planet:
1. Green Economic Zones, targeting Reclamation of Ecosystems.
2. Green Cities based on fully self-sufficient buildings including production. This requires affordable prototypes of buildings suitable to become the mainstream architecture in all parts of the world.
3. Fully automated mass production and new materials: fiber reinforced concrete and plastics, timber substitutes (like from straw), Bamboo, new alloys etc.
