You know I always assumed you were a presenter and this was managed by a large team. I later came to know it's just you and your wife and I am floored! You are easily the best content creator on TH-cam. All your videos are of extremely high quality.
Same! I thought this entire channel was run by a company.
O wow-- I assumed u were w/ Nat Geo or some other big co. Thanks 4 communicating big on all the little, for all us little-lovers!
It's really just a guy and his wife? That's crazy! Such high quality content!
Yes, me too!
I think we need a behind the scenes special now 😀. Seriously, I'd like to see a bit about the process.
Bryce, you never fail to surprise us. Best channel on TH-cam hands down! You need an award for all of the traveling & work you do. We appreciate you. ❤️
Totally!
Witchery?? Seriously??
Bryce!Thank you for capturing the world of living and delivering unto us beyond our imagination!you are absolutely perfect!!!!!
And your wife also, behind the scenes!
@@nanciguerrato7350 yes absolutely rasa the camera women 💜
He is very articulate about the design and quite good at describing the beauty of the construction. The architect helped me appreciate the house more.
totally agree! you could tell how passionate he was
But he deliberately left out the cost. 😆
I agree, he is articulate about the design and construction, but he is not an architect. He has a BFA in furniture design.
Ok sorry, I didn't know what to call him.
@@ladydusk1 No worries! I didn't want to seem like a snob, just wanted to point that out. :)
This is the only youtube channel where I go out of my way to watch every single video.
Wow that's dedication 😂👌
Hey team! Woah, what a mission it was to get this video live! We've just been traveling for a few days through the Aussie outback to get to our latest shoot. No internet meant we were a bit slower than usual getting this one live, so apologies for that! Hope you're all having an amazing day, and enjoy this episode! I'm a big treehouse fan and was really in my element filming this one!
how about a bio vid sometime Bryce? what got you interested in alt ways of life etc.
That's a good idea! I'll definitely do one of those in the near future. It'll be cool to chat about when I'm back in NZ and doing an update on my tiny house there. Thanks!
yw ..thank you Bryce you are such a breath of fresh air in times like these...take care from blue mountains nc usa
ridge* lol
I really like that you are showing all kinds of tiny structures, from family homes to college kids to epic works of art and science combined. All walks of life. This is by far one of my favorites cus I really like what he said about symbiotic relationships at the end.
Geomatree...
Lmao, he was just saying that when I read the comment
Lol 😂 good one.
@@TheGodEmperorOfMankind_ me too
Good one! They should use it! The guy who built it in 33 days is brilliant!
Here I'll give u, ur 666th likes.
Oh and ur 6th replies.
Holy Shit! 33 Days... no wonder that cost so much... I mean seriously. That is a complex piece of construction.
The only thing I dislike about this structure is the idea of waking up in the middle of the night and needing to use the restroom haha
Imagine I would not agree to spend even a night up there. It would scare the hell out of me
I do believe it's called a chamber pot, no need to go outside 😉
Exactly!!
Have a human size kitty litter
That’s what ice cream buckets are for
$10,000 of Windex a year..... but still worth it.
haha. It would be for sure!
no windex... vinegar... the trees would like it better too ;-)
Windex is toxic and not for the forest or anywhere. We have other options.
Norwex window cloth + water *boom*
Lol !
Simply stunning. It's probably not realistically possible, but I'd love to see a whole tiny house built with this design. Or possibly have three or four of these connected by hanging walkways... even better!
goulash75 indeed... An Ewok air village kinda vibe!!??
@@greywolfwalking6359 exactly.
I love this channel. It’s just so wholesome, and Bryce seems like the most genuine man.
The whole design is so crazy but looks really awesome and the views are just amazing.
You have to be HIGHLY skilled to build something like this.
I’d LOVE to be in that room during the rain😍 literally heaven on earth❤️
Bryce is such a warm person, and it felt like the architect here had a similar energy; warm, infectious, a child-like love for what they do. That is a rare thing these days. And let's not forget the camera work which, I believe, is done by Bryce's wife. Awesome job. I think she deserves a word of praise. A two-person team producing content at the level of big-budget groups. This is the reason mainstream media has failed society and this is the future of entertainment.
Sleeping high up with full view of tree canopies, sky, moon...watching & hearing rain, then watching sun come out and beautiful sky! Heaven. 💖 Especially with that bathroom. 🥰
To me it looks like an upside down artichoke. Its so cool how people are still creating unique things. Thanks Bryce
Bryce's eyes, when he enterned in to this house says everything... 😍🌲🌠
This is why I love this channel and is THE ONLY channel I am super excited for any new upload. You'd think I'm overdramatising this but no, this is my FAVOURITE channel.
The more I watch on TH-cam the more I really appreciate how good you are, that it’s just 2 of you is even more impressive! Thanks for the great work
I think it’s good that Bryce video allows us to have this kind of thought... I rather it be shown and we discuss the ones we don’t like or share ways it could be built better so Bryce could share with feature persons or people reading the comments and considering doing something similar can see that him not recording it at all... further I agree with another person who said that we all harm in someway or another...the wood we use on houses are full trees cut down... I think we need to be more realistic in our judging. Thanks again Bryce for sharing this video.
No words to describe how beautiful is this tree house.
Put your talent into your art, and your genius into your life. Well done 👏
'The penthouse of tree houses'.... Indeed. This is the most awesome structure I've ever seen and the cone design is inspired...
I would like to see what it is like to be in there during heavy rain or a thunderstorm. Must be awesome.
Thank you for sharing all those cool tiny houses with us ! :)
This is the most stunningly gorgeous and complex tree house I have ever seen, and even more so when it is lit up at night, WOW!!
Wouldnt wanna try climbing into that thing when your drunk lol 😂
No you would not! Definitely a good sober home.
Hahahahaha My thought exactly. Imagine you are showering and right there a bear is staring at your naked ass and you try to climb up running away from the bear with wet bare feet. 😂😂😆🤣 you'll end up being a nice treat for that bear.
jay donelly 😆 lol
why would you be drunk in middle of the forest climbing tree houses?
akshay Rochwani Man, you don’t know me very well...
That showers not gonna look so cool in the winter.... ☃️
@Shiranova, to paraphrase a CA lottery commercial, another CA winter not too different from CA summer (or was it the other way around?) That's why condemned and burned out buildings go for almost a million dollars here, you are paying for the climate, not the land or edifice. Thinking of moving to a commune in Hawaii and buying this and using it as VRBO, far more profitable and WAAY less hassle than having long term tenants!
@@evagoblog383 can I come?
@@evagoblog383 Seriously. Winter in a redwood forest is little different than summer in one. I guess some people don't know about other climates.
@president camacho If 50°F is cold to you then yeah.
Absolutely incredible. It blows my mind that they built this in 33 days!!! It’s straight out of a dream.
Imagine taking a dump in the washroom at 2 am and a bear pokes it's head in the door
Amazingly beautiful - thanks for showing us Bryce.
No single straight angle, all parts are custom-made and all that complex geometry fits well into the design, and into nature. Good one!
The tree house is absolutely gorgeous.
This is perfect for sleeping while under the stars. And the morning after will be as cool as the night.
Awe is exactly what comes to mind! Bryce...Bryce...Bryce, you're killing me. 33 days?!?! I can't even imagine such a thing being built - it truly is
"the penthouse of tree houses" as you so aptly stated. Man o man - I love this tree house. My hat respectfully is off to this young man and his creation - truly ONE OF A KIND! Thank you Bryce - you're amazing - take care my friend. ;)
Thanks Charles! So glad you enjoyed the tour mate. And yeah, 33 days is hard to believe! Hope you're well!
Living Big In A Tiny House hi Bryce, I’m living the dream, no complaints. I love all your videos, they’re like a window
To my dream world. Thank and take care Bryce
Nature is the art of the gallery. Definitely the most creative and artistic one on this channel. Really cool
Stunning design, it is his most beautiful and disruptive treehouse.
A truly romantic getaway.
Perfect place for self quarantine.. I'm here from the future, April 2020 🤣😂
This gentleman was so bright and articulate. It was truly touching to hear his point of view. Thank you to you, Bryce and your wife for always sharing your amazing passion with us in such a heartfelt and encouraging way.
WOW. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The way it reflects the colors of the surrounding is so beautiful.
“I just want it to be a beacon for sustainability”, so how much did this bedroom on a few wires cost again? OVER $100,000?
It’s not made for mass production. It’s a one off.
Yeah right, a steel frame wrapped in wood and plastic, with no insulation, attached with steel beams and cables and used 10 time a year. Sustainable? 🤔
The windows probably act as insulation.
It was made for a Glade commercial, sustainability is not their goal. A beautiful excess of resources to make people buy plugins.
In fairness, he did say a “beacon for sustainability”, not an “example of sustainability”. I'd say it inspires sustainable living well - isolated in woods and a design that makes people think about what can be done.
Bravo!!!!!!! On all fronts: spiritual, visual… just fricking FAB!!
The most beautiful tiny house i have seen
He said spiritual experience and honestly all I could think was LSD in a tree.
mine is ketamine
For the right person with the right mindset, simply ascending the tree is the LSD. ☮
Mushies 🍄
Pine cone treehouse = "Pineal gland" aka "third eye"
Lol
This feels so magical and breathtaking! Thank you for letting us know about this Bryce!
The engineering on this is mind blowing 🤯
Hi lovely. So glad the tree doesn’t suffer too much. The construction is amazing. 😊🙏
Bryce this is by far the best house you have shown yet. Cuddos to the builder and the designer, awesome job!
Thanks for sharing and God bless
OMG!!! That is AMAZING
Spectacular!!!!! I love the geometry...and what better place than out in nature where we find so much sacred geometry, and the spirit of the Redwood trees. Built in 33 days, well the Ascended Masters (33 is a master number associated with Ascended Masters) certainly must have been guiding Dustin to complete this work of art in such a short period of time. I can imagine the amazing energies that emanate from this beauty. The entire area is I'm sure meditating in that pine cone would be an extra extraordinary experience.
He's a very talented architect. This is so beautifully executed. Thanks for finding him, Bryce.
BEYOND EPIC!!!!
not really a home.
more of a rich mans novelty.
Exactly. A rich person's -- or someone who clearly has money to burn -- plaything. Whatever it is, it isn't an actual bona fide home. [EDIT/Addition: I said this not to be insulting, nor judgmental of the client's wealth, nor to begrudge the designer/builder his partial gift-in-lieu-of-payment(!!!). My comment IS JUST AN OBSERVATION that happens to be supportive of Sigh Phi Guy's similar observation. Please don't interpret it as anything more. Thanks. PelhamPete]
Isn t a home just becouse it s more expensive? Is t a home just becouse doesn t have the boring desing others have? Respect! You are a verry inteligent human being!
@@voceahiphop4695 it is not a home because it is not a home!! Nobody lives there!!! And dont be rude, just try sometimes please.
@@Pelhampete It's a tree house. You don't normally live in a tree house on a full time basis. As Bryce says in the video, it's a getaway.
@Large ( it is not a home becouse it is not a home) .xxl! You are a verry intelligent individual! Keep the good work:))))
All I can say is WOW!
I'M SPEECHLESS.... NEVER HAVE I SEEN ANYTHING MAN MADE THAT COMPARES TO THIS INGENIOUS WORK OF ART!!! BRAVO... BRAVO!!!
I couldn't help it, every time I heard the word "geometry" I kept imagining it as "geome-tree" and would snicker to myself
Could get interesting in a severe storm 😬 Amazing though👌
This channel inspires me to build my own tiny house. No need to show off and spend so much money on a big house. Less is more 😊
Beautiful cocoon. An excellent healing space.
Wow wow wow this is so beautiful ♥️ what a special tree house !
Glad you like it!
How does he still have it if it was built for a client? Was he allowed to keep it or did he decide to buy it afterwards? Looks amazing.
It was a pretty amazing deal. The client did it for a television commercial, but once that was done, the builder got to keep the treehouse as part of the payment.
@@livingbig Any idea what commercial it was for? It is spectacular!
I wondered the same. Thanks for asking.
@@livingbig wow..
A Glade commercial apparently. slicelab.com/glade-treehouse/
It is like in a Hollywood movie! Futuristic.
This has got to be the most incredible tree house/tiny home design yet! Kudos to Bryce for finding this gem and sharing it with the world. The designer and builder (s) definitely deserve an award for designing and constructing such an architecturally beautiful and amazing structure.
11:11 You can already see the plexiglass chipping off.
NoName I got upset about the same thing
Oh wow wouldya look at that :/
Yea I saw cracks in the plexiglass at the top
I can't see it
I can't see it either
Can you imagine happening upon this thing at night? "Call out the Space Aggressor Squadrons!"
Bryce's Channel is my favorite! He is a kind and natural host! This vid is only 1 example of his travelling great distances far and wide for alternative living exploration. A subject nowadays that is of interest to people searching for more, or should I say, LESS! Thank you for your Channel!
This pinecone treehouse takes the cake for favorite tiny home of all I've seen on your show. Unbelievable. Someone give me 100k+ and some land in Northern Cali so I can have one of these too. What a DREAM!
Definitely a different look! I just think I would like to have a closer bathroom and a kitchen area but hey...cool nonetheless.
Squirrels must go nuts for that place! ;)
W a s t h a t a p u n ?
The pure joy that he had talking about his pinecone tree house was so adorable!!!!
I love about the Tiny House movement that people pour their inner magic out, to share with the world. It is wonderful.
Imagine the window washing! Lol. But it is cool.
I wish the pine scales had 3M dichroic glass film under them. That would be truly whimsical
Oh year, I definitely wouldn't want that job! I've never seen that glass film, will have to check it out.
@chula chalupa yip cool ay? When I get my own space plans on the way, I'll be making some dichroic lighting based from dichroic glass man's work and possibly basic infinity lights on TH-cam.
Bring the late 80s version of the future to life!
It's a super cool to spot to spend the night, or the day chilling in the trees. It's definitely not a tiny house, but nevertheless it shows what mankind can do with their brains coupled with modern technology. I love the pine cone geometry, that was a brilliant idea.
Dustin Feider is so brilliant
Superb Construction..
And thanks to you to presenting this to us
Just imagine if cities where replaced by forest full of houses like this.. awesome concept
Im curious why people are against drilling bolts in a tree when all wood used in all the tiny houses on this channel were once trees that were entirely chopped down.
Bc in short, this cost a whole bunch of zeros at natures sake. All for some pinesole? Ad. Something like that. & The structure will demolish in 9,8,7,6,5... Enough said.
Simply amazing, so unique!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
It's like a fairy house.. 😍😍
Interesting project, but it is not at all a "beacon for sustainability"! Parametric design mimicking a pinecone may offer some interesting options, but this project only takes a snazy superficial aesthetic approach to the form, not really considering the function of systems that lead to the form. And costing $100k?! No way this is sustainable! What about the high embodied energy and carbon footprints of all that steel and acrylic? What does the ecosystem gain from this "symbiotic relationship"? Come on, got to ask the critical questions. As a master's of architecture student and aspiring regenerative designer, I would like to hear these kind of discussions on this channel more.
Almost as if this video was bullshit, in a strange way.
Very well said. Love this channel but not all things small are sustainable.
No one is stopping you to create your own channel tho. Thanks.
He said "beacon", not "This structure is sustainable.". Meaning: his design and concept can inspire more ideas that would be sustainable.
@@bonniehowell4259 Well, I see your point. We do need projects to inspire us. But I am a firm believer of leading by example. I think the designer's claim that this project is a "beacon of sustainability" is totally irresponsible. Icons and images are very influential. Shouldn't a beacon for sustainability actually achieve real, tangible, wholistic, measurable, and meaningful positive change? If we are only inspired by the superficial "wow" factor of a design, and if we are blind to the real work of sustainability and regenerative design, we need better inspiration.
I'm an intern architect now, and regenerative design and sustainability are my driving passions. I hope to show that we must take a critical approach to designs that claim to be something they are not. Especially when it comes to sustainability and regenerative design, which are at their hearts ideal principles to aspire to, a type of moral compass to guide and inspire ethical design. The problems we face require our best work, and we can't afford to dilute the inspirational power of design ethics with untruthful claims.
Watching this while drinking coffee in my bathroom. 😀
We've all done it. There's no shame in that.
Lol ew!
lmfaoooo so relatable
Coffee does have that effect.
Nasty!Why are you eating in your bathroom?
This is a piece of art!
I love treehouses and you've shown us some amazing examples but this is my absolute favourite. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Beautiful tree ornament. 🎄
He requested the timeline be off the record and they were like “lol watch dis”
Mind blowing. And for all of you criticizing the damage of trees or how this is for rich people and so forth -- I would say that if all the resources on earth were used to create such extraordinarily beautiful and imaginative art the world would be a better place. Art shapes our mental and spiritual selves and art that honors the natural world creates intimacy and reverence for that natural world. There is a ripple effect to everything. Most of you do not live in tiny houses but just thinking about tiny house living probably impacts your approach to life. It's amazing to me that anyone could look at something this magnificent and complain. This guy made a magnificent, man-made object. I bow to his particular genius.
yes, it is beautiful, exquisite 😊
Now this is what a tiny house truly means
The sad thing is when one of those trees dies and collapses, the majority of the glass on the structure will be destroyed
Yeah I also thought they're hurting the trees like that. I mean mushrooms can come in through that big wound easily and kill the tree by time.
@@Maya-pm4et I think another video on his channel explained how it doesn't hurt the tree.
It is a cool design, but it is not friendly enough to the surrounding environment. Birds can easily fly straight into those glasses.
yeah, i have to put things in the windows to keep the birds from crashing into them at full speed...and my house is on the ground!
Let's worry about the poor bird's.Forget world hunger and the prison industrial complexes for profit.And mass murders of humans on a daily basis.This is why none of my kind except me ever talks to any of you.
@@raphelazrael4824 How is this video related to world hunger? One problem at time, buddy. Go talk about world hunger and mass murder where the topic is relevant.
What a gorgeous, gorgeous place to sleep. Not practical in the least but omg what a fairytale piece of construction
If I ever wondered what a childhood dream house come true would look like... This was it... So unique and beautiful ❤
Poor trees!
I agree...those trees are alive. Certain special kinds of photographs of leaves being cut from plants shows the plants leaning back away from the injury and other reactions of the plant demonstrate that it has to heal from it's injuries the same as a human heals from it's injuries.
Surely plunging metal into and through a living tree is an problematic injury that would be festering for the tree as tbe metal stays there. I've heard that trees often die from something as simple as a nail wound...when someone posts a sign on a tree with a nail and infection gets in or the nail rusts etc.
Anyway...would have preferred if they tied ropes to the trees or something that didn't damage the trees.
You really don't understand how trees work. Besides the leaves, only a thin layer between the wooden core (the majority of the tree) and the bark is alive. Piercing that layer for an anchor does no real harm. The tree grows outward around it.
Bob Agreed!
@ Bob YOU don't know how a tree works! They created an open wound from where mushrooms can come in easily and kill the tree by time. I do also agree that the metal is problematic for the tree.
best regards from a landscape architect
I agree, it is beautiful and the architect was attractively passionate, BUT, I had very mixed feelings about the whole thing. That tree will never be the same because of the wound. It has shortened its life. If you read Peter Wohlleben's "The Hidden Life of Trees :..." you will never look at a tree the same way again. Great read! I am not a tree hugger, I like wood and use it, but the treehouse is going to be used by a small, elite number of people. It's not to live in. I wonder where in CA it is? I live there. Could I go look at it? It's a novelty and a luxury. Also, how can it be considered "sustainable"? I'm happy he enjoys his work. It is an amazing piece of art. I'm glad you showed it, but it left me a little cold..
Totally agree!!
Baby Boomer | the trees that are used for all the other tiny houses we’ve seen will never be the same either.
True. But those trees are not still living.
It actually *is being used* by a lot of people; not just a small number of elite people. It is on AirBnB, located in Bonny Doon, near Santa Cruz, California. So, not only can you go look at it, but you can also stay in it.
Baby Boomer
If you'll read at the top of the screen, Bryce mentions where the treehouse is...
We've just been traveling for a few days through the Aussie outback to get to our latest shoot. Australia, not California. Why did you assume California?
Simply fabulous.
Wow! Such a magical place!
I love the design, however I wish the architect had supported the cone with rods instead of cables drilled into beautiful trees. I think it's really strange to build a temple to nature and at the same time seriously maim many trees in the surroundings. Other treehouse builders have created better and and more sustainable attachment methods.
Agreed, it was painful to watch.
Wouldn't have sold air fresheners as effectively though.
CarolusBuchwurm.......ABSOLUTELY AGREE with your comment. I didn’t particularly like when the architect stated it was a “SPIRITUAL” experience when creating it. Because he took the spirituality OUT of the tree by harming the tree itself, even though he tried to say it wasn’t harming the tree......😔😔
If you actually look into the process, it doesn't harm the trees
Melissa M....it does harm the 🌲 trees and they speak their pain....it’s been scientifically proven that plants and trees suffer at the hands of selfish humans!
more like a bedroom not a house ....
the forest is the rest of the house :D
As Bryce says in the video, it's a getaway.
lol, or a closet-- granted, I'm a big ole snowflake
LIL JESS not just any bedroom...the most unique bedroom in the world ....in my opinion .

This is just … wow! There are no words to describe just how awesome this pinecone treehouse is.
You say redwoods. I say let's go! I love the forest!!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🏞🏞🏞🏞
