“Adam came out, and immediately we connected. And I just loved the fact that he was all about the craftsmanship.
“The treehouse is just such a peaceful place. Adam and I talked about the intention, which, this is one of the things I loved about the process. We started to put together plans, and it wasn't just, "Okay, we want it to look like X, Y and Z." It was more an intention and a feeling that we wanted from the tree house.”

“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. Even when I do come up with an idea, it has to fit what is there.” So says World Treehouses founder and lead builder, Adam Laufer, in our new cover story in the May issue of Capital At Play magazine.
