Anyone out there know of a builder in CR that can design and construct a ‘real’ tree house. One that is up and in the tree not just around the base of it..
Also, would this fly with the building permitting process in CR.
ThanksI would think this would be tough to accomplish. Costa Rica’s building code is based in large part upon earthquake resistance. How one would build a house up in a tree and still conform to that code would be a puzzle.

Thanks for the links, I had not seen those ones. I did find one contractor in Brazil that constructs ‘in the tree’ tree houses. http://www.casanaarvore.com/ , there are some really great pictures.
There are some large trees on our land which have really big diameter (over 10 feet), not buttressed at the bottom, are kind of white in colour, and look like upside down broccoli as the upper branches really spread out at the top. I think it is a Sabo (spelling?) tree. Does anyone know about this particular trees strength, rot resistance, or suitability for supporting such structures?Thank you,
Hi there, Terry Cook here. I remember about a year or so ago of a builder that was building true tree houses in C.R. I will go and check my records and see if I can identify him. He had something about building for people with some kind of illness. Sorry I can not remember more but I will look.
Terry From TexasHow about this link… I ran into these folks developing this community while visiting Sierpe on the OSA. They really seem to be into the whole idea. The link is http://www.fincabellavista.net/home.htm
