The basic structure will be prefabricated in a factory before being shipped to the woodland plot.</p> <p>Construction is slated to begin in five months, and completed in 2014 at a cost US$361,000 (not including land). This may seem expensive, but the designer assures us that similar properties in the area regularly exceed $1 million. Indeed, Aibek further reports that he's already received orders to design and build three more houses.</p> <p>We'll check in with Aibek for further details as the project matures and construction gets underway.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131011180804/http://amasow.com/tree-in-the-house/" target="_blank">A.Masow</a> via <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131011180804/http://www.designboom.com/architecture/a-tree-in-the-house-in-almaty-kazakhstan-by-almasov-aibek-10-102013/" target="_blank">DesignBoom</a></p> <!-- INTEL BANNER --> <!-- stumbleupon_recommended --> <!-- FM Content Well Zone Zone --> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131011180804js_/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- adstage = '2'; google_ad_client = 'pub-1607124478120364'; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_ad_channel = '5541773889+7414841517'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_skip = google_adnum; google_feedback = 'on'; google_ad_type = 'text'; google_image_size = '300x250'; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131011180804js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/tree-in-the-house/29372/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131011180804/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/tree-in-the-house/29372/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131011180804if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Ftree-in-the-house%2F29372%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20131011180804oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/tree-in-the-house/29372/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/tree_in_the_house-3.jpg" data-description="Located on the mountainous outskirts of Kazakhstan's largest city Almaty, Tree in the house is an unusual property designed for a single couple.

What happens to all the leaves when they fall - that's quite a mess (the tree in this image is a pine, so think about the sap. Dead limbs? </p> <p>2. How about water - you are placing a non-permeable barrier on top of a wide portion of the base of the tree that it would usually need in order to get water. </p> <p>3. What happens when the tree inevitably dies? After all, it is not going to get enough water. The body is also being kept in an artificial while the roots are going to be subject to the outside temps. </p> <p></p> <p>Overall, this seems like an arrogant idea, is completely impractical, and
