Inspiration: Treehouse for Grownups

10-2-08 bahouth1.jpg
Over the past year, we've shared some of our backyard projects with you. They've been large-scale projects and smaller weekend projects but we have one on the list that will be our true pièce de résistance. We've been slowly collecting inspiration swipes from books and magazines, wood from Craigslist and old windows from UrbanOre. Why? Well, to build a treehouse....of course! The above photo is our top inspiration of the moment (look at the rope bridges!). Jump below for a link to some videos about the architect, Peter Bahouth, and his treehouse for grownups....

In real estate buyers often refuse to see houses with ungraded yards like the one shown above. Building a adult treehouse sanctuary on that type of yard is a great idea!

It's not a treehouse unless it's at least 15 or so feet above the ground. Otherwise, it's just a shed on stilts.
