We had to condemn the boys' treehouse last summer when the floor started to rot through. After much debate on whether to contract out or built it ourselves, we finally came to our senses and hired an awesome team to build this for us. Best! Treehouse! Ever!! :)
(It fits boys of all sizes!)
Land of the Dragons
Rhinefeld, Germany hamlet, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA
This dragon pokes its head out from the very top of the LOTD treehouse. When the area opened in April 1994 the dragon exhaled smoke from its nostrils and roared when two buttons were pushed inside the treehouse. The smoke effect hasn't been a feature since the late 1990s and the roar hasn't worked since the mid 2000s, though both are supposed to be repaired with the smoke coming from the dragon's mouth this time (you can see the mechanism inside its mouth in this photo).
A treehouse near the Mandalay riverfront. I couldn't establish if people lived there or what it's purpose was, nobody in this area really spoke any English or wanted to speak to me.
Tree house foundation. It's going to be 12'x16' and about 9' from the ground at it's highest. The back two uprights are tree limbs. The bracing is bolted on with lags.

The front two supports are trees with a an 8" tee trunk as a cross beam, slotted to allow the beam to float when the trees sway in the wind. The floor floats on the beam, wrapping around the trunks.

I was honored to have a logo selected for the Communication Arts design annual this year.
I developed the logo last year for Treehouse (aka the best client in the world. Thanks, Kevin), a green home-improvement resource. The mark was developed further in conjunction with David Kampa at McGarrah Jessee in Austin, Texas.

The only treehouse I've ever seen that you go *down* to.
Actually, quite a bit smaller than it looked from the lanai. But still very cool. I did find it odd, though, that they didn't have a path extending to the treehouse from the house, without having to walk barefoot (or worse, in socks) through the mud.
Just a shot of Molly's treehouse thing (not sure what to call it yet!) on its own.
Hopefully I'm going to make a stand for it so it'll be able to stand on a flat surface. At the moment I have to jam in between tree branches or find a hole in the ground... =P
