Custom Treehouse Builders Explain the Art of "Building Slow" at Our New Project: Rumbling Bald Treehouse


Ever heard of the slow movement? It advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace, and doing everything as well as possible instead of as fast as possible. It’s about quality over quantity in everything.

For lead builder Adam Laufer, crafting beautiful treehouses is a slow discipline. Not because it’s a requirement–one could certainly erect a treehouse kit in a week or two.

No, as custom treehouse builders, Adam and his team “build slow” in order to allow space for thoughtful, creative design; out of love for the art of crafting; in respect for their natural surroundings; and with the pleasure of pouring their very best efforts into building masterpieces: charming and awe-inspiring one-of-a-kind spaces for their clients.

In this photo, Adam rests in the window of a partially-finished treehouse in Rambling Bald, NC. He contemplates new elements of the design and gives honor to the the living trees that hold in their arms the project he’s put in place, as well as the trees that gave their lives to be incorporated into this new tree-structure.

What’s next for Rumbling Bald Treehouse? Wait and see!
