With such an historic inauguration just around the corner we’re very excited here! Jake Jacob, my partner at Treehouse Workshop, has traveled to Washington, DC, for the festivities. He and his wife Lela have set up a blog to chronicle their experiences:
Enjoy!
The treehouse I reported on December 10th is now complete. Thanks to all who made this one happen!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season. Here in Fall City we wrapped up 2008 with a ton of snow and some wonderful news: our local development department has embraced Judy and I’s vision for Treehouse Point! Here’s the article that appeared in the Seattle Times:
King County’s about face on treehouses
~Happy new year~
Treehouse Workshop has begun a new treehouse north of Seattle. This one is being built between a fir and a redwood. 25′ beams make the span.
Daryl and Bubba lift the second beam into place.
The deck almost complete, framing will soon begin. Check back in a couple weeks for a picture of the finished treehouse.
One of our best clients asked us to expand the treehouse we built for them last year in Los Angeles. Built around two beautiful eucalyptus trees, the new design doubles the interior space and bumps out the rear deck. Click on an image to enlarge it. (For a look at the original project, see posts here and here.)
This short and flattering article has appeared in a couple publications recently.
Last month the Global Treehouse Symposium was held at TreeHouse Point. The lectures and workshops were incredible, with lots of information shared and friendships made. The food was amazing. What inspiration can come when builders gather in the trees!
So many good people…. The creators of Finca Bellavista, the sustainable treehouse community, came from Costa Rica. Tom Chudleigh from Vancouver Island, creator of the Free Spirit Spheres. Local net artist Sarah Jefferson. Michael Garnier blessed us with his presence. We had a remote presentation beamed in from Canada. A number of arborists, riggers and carpenters shared their vast knowledge. Participants from a half dozen countries and so many more.
In all the excitement I didn’t make many photographs, but here are a few.
