Pixar director proposes "whimsical" 60-foot artificial tree, three treehouses for Lafayette property - San Jose Mercury News

Pixar director proposes "whimsical" 60-foot artificial tree, three treehouses for Lafayette property - San Jose Mercury News: "A Pixar writer and director dreamed up this idea -- not for his next movie, but for his family's next house.

He and his wife bought 15 acres of secluded, vacant land in Lafayette and proposed a 60-foot-tall artificial oak tree with three treehouses. A suspension bridge would link them to a new house on the adjacent hill. An elevator would connect the house to a garage 25 feet below, burrowed 80 feet into the hillside."
