Antony Gibbon's Lord Of The Rings Treetop Dwellings...

Looking like some treetop dwellings for the Elves of Lothlorien in JR Tolkiens Lord Of The Rings, Antony Gibbon's Roost Treehouses are designed to copy the curvaceous and organic forms found in Nature.

The front of each apartment echos that of a human dwelling giving the idea that the designers consider the avian homes are as important as the dwellings occupied by humans.
