One of the good things about a bad economy is the creation of small businesses that encompass a lot of different industries. One of these, of course, is specialty construction. Many people have expressed an interest in treehouses for adults and a growing number of them have hired these companies to come and do the work.
These types of homes do not fall into the category of site build homes as they have to be designed and built for the individual and the tree in which it sits. The size of the tree and what needs to be included will have to be planned out long in advance of the first board being cut. There are a few more considerations to building one of these than it takes to simply move into a ground house.
The basic platform you built, as a child, from scrap wood was fine then because all you needed was a safe place off the ground in which to play. The structure you are thinking about now will have to protect you a little more, such as from the wind and rain and it should also provide the basics as in seating, a bed, ceiling and a few walls. You may also want a sink and sanitary provisions.
A lot of people have tried to make that platform idea work for them as a grown up. Others have been invested in the comfort of a ground house and have built a small one and lifted it into the tree and just bolted it in. Both of these ways are attractive, however, they are not the best way to take advantage of a unique opportunity.
The basic platform style and the regular structure lifted into place misses the possibilities that present themselves while building a truly unique house. Special considerations should be made to create a space that blends into the tree and the natural surroundings yet is still visible.
You will find, as you begin your design phase with the professional builders help, at exactly how much room you do not need. A table and seating area can be fabricated using limbs or branches growing in through the walls. A seat, such as this, is equally useable for dining as it is for a couch or easy chair.
The electrical service you need can be handled by a licensed electrician. A simple 110 volt system is all you will need unless you plan to have a full size oven and or dryer. The largest flat screen television will probably be out of the question but a radio and or home entertainment center, while cut back, will be easier to handle. Many of these building experts will be able to give you a measure of fresh water supplies and waste water drainage as well.
You will be able to find a number of companies to build that special tree house you have been thinking about. Their ideas and experience, along with your ideas, will make this a satisfactory project and get you above everyone else where you want to be. Take advantage of the number of companies who offer this unique approach to living and make your place yours and yours alone.
