Cautiously, I stepped across the gap, grasping a branch overhead to steady myself. It was a long way down. Once across, I stepped into a cool, modern office with a strong glass floor.

To my left I saw a Note Goat sidle past the water cooler before it nimbly leapt in through an open window and landed by a cluttered desk.

A pair of nesting Peregrine Falcons stared at me through the window as I walked past. They seemed totally unfazed by all of the activity inside, until I realised they were looking at mountain vistas on their side of the window film that I could see through, to observe them.

I was fifteen storeys above the ground, high in a tree, on my first day at a new workplace. Everything swayed gently in the stiff breeze, as the tree flexed and moved as nature intended.

An Office Cat brushed against my leg, purring gently.

I love it, I'm bunning it, but I gotta call you on a Halfbakery technicality, since you haven't really invented anything. You painted a wonderful picture all the same.

So, you already work in a 15 storey office tower that's been constructed in a tree?

OTS Product A (business office) + OTS Product B (treehouse) does not = new invention.
-- Alterother, Feb 04 2013


With respect, [Alter], combination of existing ideas is almost always a new invention:

Water bowl + Heat = Soup cauldron
Scoop + Handle = Shovel
Motor + Carriage = Motor Car
Motor car + Fortress = Tank
Motor car + Bird = Aircraft

I suppose this would be the CBD, [hippo].

Carbonaceous Business District, or summat.
-- UnaBubba, Feb 04 2013


Yes, Treehouse Town needs places for the folks to work. It all flows together, very organically. Lovely.

What [Alterother] said, but I still want!! [+]
Baked by Swiss Family Robinson! Still want!

Ubie, it is a long-held HB convention that the simple combination of two things that already exist, especially without altering either of them, does not constitute a halfbaked invention. Tell me I'm wrong, anyone.

I didn't mean to make a big thing out of it, so I conclude here, and if it is diplomatically necessary, I concede as well.

Anyone might not say anything...you know some things just smell like a baking croissant even if they're not.
-- xandram, Feb 04 2013


I give half a bun for the Office, half a bun for the Treehouse. Hey that's a whole bun. [+]
