Tree House Builders Co-Design with the Trees
In a standard ceiling, the ridge-beam of a gable-framed house is level. We broke all the rules on this one!
Lead builder Adam Laufer says, “One of the hickory trees forming the foundation of this treehouse has branches that sweep down such that that a level ridge-beam was not an option. This obstacle turned out to be a great gift, prescribing for us the most fundamental design element of this build: a canted ridge-beam that slopes upward toward the river.”
Adam adds, “You could say we built around the trees, but it's more accurate to say that the trees showed us how to build this treehouse!"
(And our clients adore the spectacular results.)
