It's a Labor of Love for this Asheville Treehouse Builder


Her treehouse evokes restoration and the Japanese practice of forest bathing–reflections of a quest for quiet healing, centeredness, and deep, inner joy.

“Adam talked to us about what the intention is,” she reflects. (Adam Laufer is our lead builder.)

He took in her needs and personality, the location, and what the trees were calling for. This beautiful treehouse is what came forth as an expression of the trees, the land, our craft, and the client herself.

Through myriad details from roof type to the hand-crafted copper tub to the smallest touches, bringing this place to life was full of intention and heart. (It always is.) “Adam said, ‘Even as we are building this and putting it together, we're thinking of you and we're creating this special place for you.’”

And now, our client and her daughters share moments, days and weeks of connection, joy, serenity, and healing in their hand-made treehouse, just as they’d dreamed of.

“I was so touched by that love and care. It was a labor of love.”
