Interior Design Magazine w/ Fab Tree Hab


Tree/House
Soon, it may take just seeds and water to expand a house. Architects Mitchell Joachim and Javier Arbona, engineer Lara Greden, and horticulture company Plantware make up the green-thinking team that's experimenting with self-grafting trees such as elms to weave the Fab Tree Hab concept, with a lattice of woody vines forming exterior walls. Growing a two-story, water-recycling eco retreat should take five years.
