Tree Houses
Collage
Have you ever dreamt with having a tree house?
They say in our lives, we must plant at least a tree. This is the story of José Luis Cornejo, who went even beyond, becoming the guardian of an incredibly special tree. Like many children, he dreamt of building a house on top of a tree, and he realized it.
José Luis Cornejo, from Quito, became the owner of this property 25 years ago and had the fantastic idea of building a house on the tree in 1990 as a gift to his children. The house is in the Galapagos' Islands, in Ecuador, on top of a Ceiba tree, more than 300 years old. The house is about 15 meters tall and has a basement 3 meters deep in the ground.
One curious fact is that José Cornejo used recyclable materials for the construction, like plastic cases to make the step ways that lead to the tree, he also used them as walls.
This story was the inspiration for some adults and children to represent their own tree houses.
