Omah Kayu is a cluster of elevated wooden treehouses built into pine trees on the slopes of Mount Banyak in Batu, East Java. The structure is perched at an elevation of approximately 1,300 meters above sea level. Each unit is constructed from pinewood and features an open-air balcony facing the valley. The facility serves as both an observation point for the city of Batu and a lodging space. The elevation provides a clear vantage point over the urban grid of Batu and the surrounding mountainous landscape. Visitors access the treehouses via interconnected wooden stairways and raised platforms. The site is situated within the Gunung Banyak Paragliding area, which serves as a launch point for tandem flights. The treehouses are built to blend with the natural forest environment, utilizing pine timber throughout the design.
