Treehouse

It all started with the idea of a treehouse. This client was moving to the area to be closer to her grandchildren so the first order of business was designing a treehouse in her modest backyard. Her half lot posed problems of scale but often necessity is the mother of invention and so we managed to fit many elements into a small space in a way that made the finished design feel much larger than it first appeared. The play structure is fitted with climbing wall and all sorts of fun details like a mailbox and fold down chairs but also makes space for an elegant swing seat for adults. Raised beds have custom seating attached and are a perfect place to enjoy a small fire pit. The gravel patio is enclosed by juniper retaining wall and steps that also act as additional seating. Corten steel raised beds  allow for vegetable gardening to be an act of beauty as they take center stage in the front.
