夢想#S20120403001：上帝的樹屋

這棟 「全球最高」 的樹屋佔地面積達3千多平方公尺(約920坪)，高度更達10層樓，位於美國田納西州。樹屋由六顆大樹支撐，共用了25.8萬顆釘子結合而成，其設備一應俱全，包括旋轉式樓梯、唱詩班、籃球室、教堂、閣樓、浴室及陽台等。

Horace Burgess花了11年時間打造這座最接近上帝的樹屋。他在建屋前曾收到上帝的旨意，上帝告訴他將有用之不盡的天然資源，因此1993年開始建屋，耗時11年終於完成。這棟10層樓「豪宅」幾乎只靠天然資源打造，因此只花費1萬2千美元(約新台幣35萬元)。

這間樹屋是每個孩子的夢想，而Horace就是打造這個夢想的孩子王。

God's Treehouse

The world's tallest treehouse, located in Crossville, Tennessee, makes the Swiss Family Robinsons look like a bunch of amateurs - but that might be because it was commissioned by God.

The 1960 Disney film about a family shipwrecked on an island, features an impressive treehouse complete with its own water mill.

But the Robinson's home pales in significance next to this structure, which took builder Horace Burgess 11 years to build.

Horace, who lives in the 10 story wooden house, said he begun the build in 1993 after he received a vision from God, who said he would never run out of materials if he built it.

The enormous treehouse is a whopping 10,000 square feet but only cost Horace a reasonable $12,000 thanks to his thrifty use of recycled materials.

Inside there are spiral staircases, a sanctuary, a choir loft, a basketball court, and countless rooms, walkways and balconies.

These photos were taken by photographer Tom Whetton, 63, on March 15, this year.

He said: 'The treehouse is incredibly impressive.

You can't really appreciate the scale until you are standing next to it but it is absolutely huge.

I was told that the whole thing is supported by just six trees and that Horace used 258,000 nails to put everything together.
