5 - Crystal River Tree House - Hillary Kidd


     Tree houses are not just for kids anymore. In addition to being a creative, inspiring space for children, this tree house also serves as a quiet meditative space for the adults. 

     Green Line Architects design their tree houses as organic spaces that come together as the forest and locally available materials will allow. For this tree house every piece of wood was hand-picked during the construction process. The framing materials of this tree house are made up of either re-claimed or blown-down timbers. The sheathing and siding are locally sawn white pine, and wavy edge cedar.  The pin foundation system used here was chosen for its minimal impact to root systems of the surrounding trees.


“There is always a place for fun and frivolity in architecture!” - David Rasmussen, resident tree house expert of Green Line Architects
