Spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright Lives on in Sydney Tree House

Here is the sort of house that will leave wonderful childhood memories of long summer meals after a day of fun.

It has a natural joie de vivre, set amongst treetops in the surrounding bushland.

The house, aptly named “treetops” is set in Cottage Point, Sydney’s smallest suburb, among only 52 homes.

Was it was a house otherwise ahead of its time in the 1950s, or is this stone fireplace a retro nod to the period?

The late architect Bruce Rickard said he was influenced by the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

At the risk of heresy, I have to admit I’ve never really recognised his genius.

Regardless, this is a wonderful, open, welcoming space full of light and charm.

These are happy, friendly and cheerful spaces, as wide open as Australia.

A tranquil, lovely, gentle, innovative tree house perfect for the balmy climate in Sydney.
