#7 The Anderson Home
A tree is the focal point of this home. Rather it is one giant monkey pod tree that covers the entire lot.
Plain plywood walls and screens with no windows work well if mother nature provides you protection with one giant umbrella.
However it is more than just the tree that provides the ideal temperatures to grow orchids that are of so much interest. The home is right up atop the edge of a lava flow and looks down upon land that escaped inundation and is much older. Thus the home looks down into a small valley.
Hence this accounts for the tree's great size. The land the home was built cannot yet support a tree of this size and/or the rate of growth that caused it to spread out over 1/2 acres in a short period.
