Treehouse
A structure built among trees or supported by trees, ranging from simple platforms to elaborate multi-room dwellings, offering unique living experiences with minimal environmental impact.
Key Features
Tree Integration
Treehouses can be supported by trees, built around trees, or suspended between trees, with designs that work with rather than against the natural structure.
Minimal Footprint
By building up rather than out, treehouses preserve ground-level ecosystems and often require less site disruption than conventional foundations.
Connection to Nature
Living among the branches creates immersive experiences with wildlife, foliage, and natural elements not possible in ground-level structures.
Flexible Access
Entry can be via stairs, ladders, ramps, bridges, or even ziplines, adding to the unique character and experience of the dwelling.
Adaptable Design
Treehouses range from simple platforms to complex multi-room structures, with designs that can adapt to the specific trees and site conditions.
Structural Considerations
Specialized attachment methods allow secure connections to trees while accommodating growth and movement in winds without damaging the living hosts.

This treehouse was magical! Waking up surrounded by trees with birds chirping right outside our window was an experience we'll never forget. The design is so thoughtful - modern amenities while still feeling connected to nature.
An architectural marvel! The way this treehouse is integrated with the surrounding forest is incredible. Sustainable features like rainwater collection and solar power made us feel good about our stay. Perfect for a unique getaway.
A wonderful escape from city life. The treehouse was beautifully designed with large windows that frame the forest views perfectly. The only minor issue was the steep stairs to the loft bedroom, but the experience was worth it!
We stayed in the treehouse during fall and the colors were spectacular! The suspended walkway to reach the entrance added to the adventure. Inside was cozy yet spacious, with thoughtful details throughout. Highly recommend!
