Steampunk Tree House

The large installation piece known as the "Steampunk Tree House" began life as an art project for the popular urban punk. The Steampunk Tree House is representative of a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature: humans living in harmony with the planet and its natural elements. The House component itself is built of recycled wood, styled after the Victorian age of architecture, H.G.

Wells, and Jules Verne, wedded with the organic elements of nature. The Steampunk Tree House is a quirky, artistic structure that combines the charm of a treehouse with the industrial aesthetic of steampunk. Originally built for the Burning Man festival, this unique creation has found a permanent home in Delaware.

A perfect perch to reflect on where we've been and to dream about where we're going.

The Steampunk Tree House - a large-scale public sculpture made of steel and reclaimed wood, permanently installed at Dogfish Head Brewery. Weighing in at 8 tons (that's 16,000 pounds for the math-impaired), this steampunk treehouse looks more like a Wes Craven nightmare than a children's plaything, but it's actually a work of art.

The House component itself is built of recycled wood, clockwork components and steel, styled after the Victorian age of architecture, H.G. Wells, and Jules Verne.

Permanently installed at Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton. Dogfish Head Brewing Co. bought the Steampunk Tree House for one buck.

Of course, they probably paid a lot more to transport the steel and wood structure to their headquarters. Even if you're not into the whole steampunk trend, it's still a pretty awesome sight - with a spiral staircase, stained glass windows, an arched double door, and Victorian sconces. Good news.
