This Prefab Tree House Took Just 8 Days to Assemble

Childhood Dreams Realized

Fulfill your childhood dreams of staying in a treehouse when you vacation in this modern treehouse owned by two long-time friends who decided they needed an adult treehouse for relaxing in nature. The friends went the sophisticated and sustainable route with a treehouse designed by German design firm Baumraum, the Halden treehouse is a prefabricated structure with a gabled roof and an entire glazed front wall that provides stunning views. The modern treehouse is located in the remote Swiss town of Halden, the 236 square foot treehouse is tucked into a natural setting of rolling hills looking out over an orchard. To protect the idyllic landscape and reduce construction costs and time, the treehouse was prefabricated in Germany. When it was delivered to its location, the structure was carefully elevated off the land with four wooden support beams. Thanks to the prefabricated system, the treehouse was installed in just a few days.

Elevated Design and Comfort

The Halden Treehouse is a 236-square-foot treehouse on high stilts. The tiny structure is elevated off the ground by large supports to reduce its impact on the landscape. The interior of the treehouse is well-lit through the glass facade. Sliding glass doors open up to the wooden deck. After years of envisioning their treehouse design, friends Helgard and Nina tapped design firm Baumraum to finally bring their imagined space to life. Acclaimed for their tree houses, the German-based team quickly got to work, carefully developing plans for what is now known as Baumhaus Halden. Once the formal preparation was complete, the treehouse was prefabricated in Germany before being assembled within days on a beautiful family property in the Swiss town of Halden.
