Asheville Treehouse Builder: Curved Rafters Look Like a Whale's Ribcage
"The river at this location feels so alive," reflects Adam Laufer, World Treehouses' lead builder. "We can imagine the spirit of the river like a great, primordial beast somewhere beneath the surface, lending its vitality to the rushing waters."
"Two of our craftsmen honed each ceiling rafter into its curved shape," he adds. Stepping into our client's charming River Bend treehouse, high above one's head soar the hand-hewn Douglas fir rafters, curving up to a strong timber spine.
The treehouse gives a sense of being part of something simple, but also large, ancient and graceful. "Being in here, inside the treehouse, you can imagine you're within the belly of a whale, with its great rib-cage arching above you."
