Pete Nelson is an architect who is at the spearhead of the treehouse revival and sustainable architecture movement. He has written several books, including Abrams’ Treehouses of the World, and runs the world’s leading treehouse building company, TreeHouse Workshop, in Seattle.
Nelson encourages us to “let go of earthbound encumbrances and be free.” Continue to see some of the world’s most freeing spaces.
On a primordial patch of forest in Fall City, Washington sits Nelson’s Northwest Treehouse School, a place for people to come learn about nature, construction and–naturally–the art of building treehouses. A main lodge can accommodate 40 people for classes, and there are several treehouses with comfortable guest lodgings.
Driftwood Inn Treehouse
Nelson built this gorgeous treehouse in a ravine near a remote channel of Puget Sound. The client wanted a place for his young sons to host sleepover parties, and to get closer to nature. The boys dubbed it the Driftwood Inn.
Secret Garden Treehouse
The aptly named Secret Garden Treehouse in Seattle was commissioned by a young music industry star who wanted a quiet retreat.
Finca Bellavista Treehouse
A pair of expats in Costa Rica, Matt and Erica Hogan, are developing a 30-lot eco-village in paradise. Finca Bellavista, as the small community is called, will have a microhydro plant on a gurgling stream, solar panels, a recycling center and a common garden. Transportation is by foot, or ziplines, and visitors and residents will bunk in the trees.
Lantern House
One of Nelson’s collaborators, Roderick Romero, specializes in unique treehouse designs made from salvaged and reclaimed materials. Romero once built a treehouse in Italy for the rock star Sting. His Lantern house is balanced between three eucalyptus trees in Santa Monica, California.
Pat and Lori’s Treehouse
Working with a client who has an affinity for bridges, Nelson built this unique structure in Western Washington. The span was installed by Sahale Bridge Builders of Seattle.
Beach Rock Treehouse
Perched high in the forest of Okinawa is a unique creation by master Japanese treehouse builder Taka, author of Treedom: The Road to Freedom. The “Plexiglass portal to the universe” is an attraction at the rustic Beach Rock resort, a popular stopover for young Japanese backpackers and those who want to get away from the ordinary for a while. The treehouse was built in 2005, and weathered a typhoon the following season.
