Working with Dans mon Arbre, Industrial designer Benoît Fray has unveiled a sustainable treehouse that is constructed from locally sourced wood. The "Tree House" is a living space capable of evolving and expanding according to the lifespan of its residents and is capable of adapting to their needs at the same time, and is powered entirely by renewable energy.

Designed specifically for campsite use, the house has 32m2 of living space and an extra 32m2 of the terrace. The interior of the house is changeable according to the needs of the inhabitants. The house can welcome between two and six people. It has all the necessary elements for the comfortable life: shower, kitchen, toilet and 2-3 rooms depending on the number of persons that are living in it.

The Tree House is 5m from the ground, and it allows its inhabitants to live in the crown of the trees close to the heart of nature without disturbing the overall growth of the tree or its existing structure. The principal component of the house is wood that will be carefully taken from sustainably managed forests.
