Nature’s Nook is the culmination of the fine work of several craftsmen.
The overall treehouse design was crafted by Susan Scranton. There are so many unique features that set it apart. The treehouse has hand-scribed live edge poplar floors, a large deck for outdoor enjoyment whose shape mirrors the treehouse itself, and a back deck perched high above the fern forest with two custom whiskey barrel Adirondack chairs. The treehouse main bed is a queen tucked into its nook with views out the massive window, there are custom cabinets in the kitchen and bath were built by the Treehouse Squad.
The treehouse cabin building has a living roof covered in moss and is built around a massive oak tree that runs through the middle of the treehouse.
The treehouse has a huge glass window that overlooks the Fern Forest, concrete site poured countertops, and Shou Sugi Ban cypress siding an ancient technique where the wood is charred using a torch, which makes the wood rot and insect resistant. The treehouse has a glass tiled shower with rainfall shower head, whiskey barrel Adirondack chairs custom made by the Treehouse Squad, all rainfall channeled to the back of the roof and directed at the base of the tree ensuring the tree has plenty of water, and a deck that boasts a grill and a built-in YETI cooler for extra cold storage.
When it comes to building a treehouse there are a few tips to making sure the treehouse build is sturdy.
To start you want to center the treehouse cabin over the base of the tree. If you put the treehouse only on one side of the tree, it won’t be stable. If you live in a location with high winds, you want to keep the treehouse to the lower third of the tree to prevent uprooting in a storm. If you are building on one trunk, do your best to keep the main platform level.
Don’t restrict tree growth.
You'll want to leave some gaps around the tree to allow for growth, especially around branches and trunks that come into the treehouse. A good rule is two inches if the tree passes through the treehouse floor, and three inches if it passes through the roof. Avoid using anything that constricts the branches such as rope, straps, and wire or you risk strangling the tree.
