There is a kind of rustic beauty that comes when you get a good, quality piece of lumber. And almost nobody knows that better than the clients at World Treehouses of Asheville, NC, because these treehouses come from the forest itself.
“The staircase is one of my favorite parts,” Debbie says of her live-edge banister and steps. The breathtaking staircase features already-existing trees that were repurposed to give the treehouse even more of a connection with the surrounding ecosystem. This is far from a prefabricated do-it-yourself project; this kind of creativity and skill only comes when you hire a professional, like Adam Laufer and his team.

“It’s a sad thing to me to have a world where we’re not connecting. That’s why I like the treehouses: I don’t know what I’m going to be able to create until I get there, until I see the trees and the landscape. So I’m more working with what the trees are offering me than coming up with my own idea.
