Architects Curved the Roofline So 100-Year-Old Trees Could Stay

When building this $34.75M La Jolla mansion, designers refused to remove three mature cork oak trees already on the lot. Instead, they curved rooflines, shifted walls, and wrapped the entire structure around the trees so they could keep growing right next to the home. The architect literally wrapped rooflines around individual trunks to preserve them — which is why the owners named it 'The Tree House.'
