built couches can be pushed together to form a double bed with the bedding kept in the couch storage drawers during the day. “The tree houses were deliberately not built in a ‘green field’ but in a residential area lying between urban life and nature,” says Stegemann, who owns luxury apartment portal Suite.030 (www. suite030.com) where this project can be rented for a minimum of two months. “One can have a normal everyday life here; go to the bakery, eat at a restaurant, and have a drink by the beer garden around the corner. But you are also surrounded by nature, and at eye level with the treetops, the birds, and the sky over Berlin.”
