Walden House Casarampi is a design treehouse in Casarampi, a small settlement in the municipality of Sellano, in the province of Perugia. Designed by the studio The Ne[s]t of architect Paolo Scoglio, it combines a private panoramic deck and a cabin raised off the ground, facing the ridge of Monte Vettore, in the park of the Sibillini Mountains. Work began in 2021 and was completed in 2022. The house stands next to a centuries-old oak, which the project leaves intact and incorporates into the structure.

Walden House Casarampi: location
Casarampi is a settlement on the Pian d'Orsano, in the municipality of Sellano, and takes its name from the Rampi family. In the first half of the 16th century the Rampi were landowners, livestock farmers, woodcutters and growers of wheat, lentils and saffron, and they still work their ancestors' land today, where the treehouse stands. The building permits alone took eight years.
Walden House Casarampi: services
Inside, the cabin is a wooden space that runs from the panoramic sleeping area at the front, through the central living area, to a large, bright bathroom overlooking the oak, with the shower among the branches. The cabin and deck rest on metal pillars and micropile foundations, designed to minimize the impact on the tree's roots. Breakfast, made with local ingredients, is delivered in the morning in a wooden box.

Casarampi is home to the Museo della Civiltà Contadina (museum of rural life), opened in 2013 on the initiative of the Rampi family. Set up in the vaulted cellars and stables of the settlement, it documents farm life on the Pian d'Orsano before the mechanization of the Fifties. The Sellano Tibetan bridge, 517 meters long and 175 meters high, links the main village to the hamlet of Montesanto; in October 2026 it was listed as not operating.
