Lessons from Modern Treehouses

  • Steel Stilts Enable Any Location: Stainless steel supports allow placement over water or uneven terrain
  • Decks Extend Living Space: Wraparound porches double usable area without increasing enclosed footage
  • Windows Create Indoor-Outdoor Connection: Abundant glazing makes occupants feel immersed in nature
  • Premium Materials Ensure Longevity: Tatajuba wood and stainless steel resist weathering and decay
  • Water Settings Add Tranquility: Positioning over ponds provides calming visual and auditory environment

    I’m hearing, “Rock a-bye baby” with this one. When the bough breaks this looks like it would come crashing down. I’d never get a wink of sleep worrying about the stability of this place.

    Add a bathroom and it would be perfect. However…adding a bathroom could be a challenge.
    Very nice space….love the deck as well.

    I wonder how many folks took a swim in that pond while trying to negotiate those stairs when Mother Nature called in the middle of the night. Actually this is very charming, would make an awesome little guest accommodation and I can imagine sitting up there just taking everything in on a beautiful summer night.
