  Have you ever eaten in a tree house?
 
This is my tree house cafe. Its a restaurant situated in the top of a massive tree. (URL) uses some pretty tricky engineering techniques with an octagonal shape. Here is the city containing it: (URL) (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town) !!

(...) this is cool. Is there any piece you cant find a way to use? You seem to be able to take the most useless looking SPUD elements and make them look good. (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

Wow. Love that roof! I'm going to have to look closely at that, to see if I can imitate it. I love the feel the whole structure has.

(...) Andy - if you're interested in ideas for roofs that fit on octagon shaped structures you might want to also check out my model of Colonial Williamsburg's Powder Magazine.
