Italy Creates Epic Treehouse Apartments

Italy’s new Treehouse apartments will bring back nostalgia from anyone’s childhood.

Treehouse’s have become the the new trend in housing as well as the travel industry.

The best example of treehouse housing is located in Turin, Italy, where they have designed brand new treehouse apartments.

These treehouse’s are designed by Luciano Pia, an Italian architect, who created this eco-friendly concept.

The apartment building is called 25 Verde (25 Green), it stands 5 stories high and has 63 rooms that resemble a beautiful forest.

25 Verde, integrated around 150 trees into it’s eco friendly design, which means less pollution and keeps noise to a minimal for residents.

With this design, the trees absorb toxins that are in the air, caused by pollution from cars, as well as creating microclimate during the seasons.

Microclimate, makes the treehouse apartments cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter for residents.

In addition, the walls are ventilated which allows the sunlight to stream through during the day.

Also, the tree’s leaves provide shade when the sun gets too harsh.

This beautiful Italian property, will bring childhood treehouse dreams to life for adults.

Is the Glamping Market Under Served? We Think So.

Ryan Hutchings, General Manager of Glamping.com, recently sat down to discuss the glamping trend with Crain’s Chicago Business.

Crain’s Chicago Business sought an in-depth understanding of the growth and opportunity that glamping generates, mainly in the United States.

Ally Marotti, a journalist for Crain’s, presented interesting questions about the glamping industry growth and the glamping market being under-served in the U.S.

Hutchings, echoed the fact that glamping is being both under served in the U.S. and is growing rapidly.

And, regarding the article, “Glamping Resort Planned for Northern Michigan,” speaks to plans for a future glamping site that is raising money to break ground in Alden, Michigan.

In reference to the glamping craze, Hutchings also articulates “It is still spread out across the country. You have a few places in Florida that serve it; you have California, Washington, Montana, and then beyond they are kind of interspersed here and there,” he said. “Unless you live in proximity to one of those places, it becomes a much bigger commitment,” said Hutchings, of the glamping trend.

In addition, Glamping.com has approximately 100 glamping properties in the United States alone, getting request daily, and of these request 20-30% come from the U.S.

This number is significant with an escalating consumer demand for glamping in 2015 and the growth in the glamping inventory shows that the industry as a whole is soaring.

Brad Carlson’s concept of the glamping inventory states, the more glamping inventory declares that becomes available near major attractions or heavily populated cities, the easier it will be to generate demand and fill those beds.

For example, Moab, Utah, is a very popular tourist destinations for Utah natives and travelers around the globe, offering two national parks, world class scenery and remarkable recreation.

Moab Under Canvas, is one of the best models of someone who is taking advantage of the captive population.

“People are much more willing to choose glamping over camping and even hotels if the option is available. Its just not an option in a lot of destinations yet. Weekend getaways and experiential travel vacations that are easily accessible is a huge opportunity,” says Hutchings.

With these statics and information, hopefully this proposed glamping site will break ground soon for Brad Carlson of Alden, Michigan.
