This is a two bedroom, two bath addition to an existing bungalow in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains

It was envisioned as a treehouse engaging mountain views and a prominent oak tree at the front of the site.

The glass wall is operable to provide natural cooling and enhance the sense of being in the tree.
