Ranger, there's a lawn on your big tree house roof This building of local wood that looks sort of like a tree house is U.S. Green Building Council LEED Platinum Certified, a rarity in Kentucky. The garden on the roof and vines hanging down the walls insulates the Bernheim Forest and Arboretum Visitors Center to keep it cool in the hot summer and warm in the cold winter. Architect: William McDonough + Partners

Architecture: Bernheim Arboretum Visitors Center Built: Visitors Center (2004-2005) Architect: William McDonough Made with Kentucky native wood, this Bernheim Arboretum Visitors Center has elements of a tree house. There is also a garden growing on its roof and vines climbing its beams, which helps insulate the building to keep its inside temperature comfortable. <a href="https://www.usgbc.org/leed" rel="noreferrer nofollow">LEED Platinum certified</a> for being green, this building is considered one of <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/travel/destinations/2017/03/27/25-must-see-buildings-in-kentucky/99694630/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Kentucky's 25 most unique architectural structures</a>. During the 1930s and 1940s, two famous landscapers, the Olmstead Brothers, advised the bourbon distiller and purchaser of this 12,000 acres of land, Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, on how to rehabilitate the cheap stripped land in order to grow back a hardwood forest and make it an arboretum. A park was opened to the public in 1950.
