front railing. i cut two square dowels the inner length of the treehouse and then drilled 7 holes evenly spaced across each the diameter of my spindle pinions
this shows the slats sandwiched between two beams from the top. i need to figure out how to finish that edge. the large beams are wide enough but they look too bulky, and the narrow beams aren't wide enough. i need something wide and flat, almost like a veneer or something
Yes, I realize this is more of a tree PORCH, but I don't care, I'm calling it a treehouse. It has been my muse even before I met it.
Some of the most interesting examples of Midlothian architecture and community are found at the Bilston Glen Treehouses. Originally a protest site, started in 2002 in reaction to a planned re-routing of the A701, it is now an ever-evolving activist community with visitors coming from all over the world.
People come for a variety of reasons - all are welcome as long as they contribute towards the community in some way through house maintenance, communal cooking or tending the vegetable plot. There is a small group of permanent residents who have the right to the best houses, with the ones situated high in the trees used mainly by visitors. While some of the houses are just basic shelters, others have been lovingly designed - recycled crafted structures with heating, carpets and bookcases. The higher houses are lashed to the trees using bicycle inner tubes and ropes, allowing the trees to move, and are taken down every couple of years to avoid damage.
I've always been fascinated by 'self-built' communities - those purposely created rather than those that organically evolve. Stereotyped by the hippy commune in recent decades, there is a wide range of examples - indeed often bound by common idealogy - the eco-village; the co-op; the Christian community. How humans organise themselves and design communal architecture to live together harmoniously is fascinating, especially as nowadays most of us live in urban environments with varying degrees of contact with our neighbours.

When we were little, the kids in my neighborhood built a treehouse every single summer.
In those innocent days, no adult really minded if a bunch of kids commandeered one of his great big trees and started more or less randomly nailing big boards to it. When John Ryan fell out of our treehouse and broke his arm, the person who owned the tree never heard the news.
Nobody gets hurt falling from Second Life treehouses, like this one, which is from Julia Hathor's garden store.
This photo maybe shows better than any other the efforts that we have gone to to preserve every possible part of the tree, and to build the treehouse structure around the tree, rather than use it purely as a piece of scaffolding.
first, some detail might be in helpful. the 11’x5’ treehouse movie theater screen hangs off the 2nd floor of the house and is attached at the top to the house soffit. there’s a 10 pound piece of metal conduit in a hem on the bottom of the screen to keep it even and flat. support ropes are linked to clamps that are attached to the bar to keep the bar from banging against the house when it gets windy.
recently, we had a couple days and nights with crazy winds and on one of those nights we could hear the treehouse movie theater screen banging against the side of the house. great. the winds were so strong they snapped the support lines on the bottom of the screen. but there was nothing to be done in the dark during 40mph gusts so we settled in for a night of listening to the banging.
but then it stopped. “huh.” i thought. “i guess the screen must have ripped apart and fallen down entirely."
not exactly. somehow a gust of wind got in the foot of so space between the screen and house and whipped it onto the roof and over the drain waste vent?! you can sort of see the metal conduit that runs along the bottom of the screen in this photo and how it had to make it up and over the vent.
it might be hard to visualize but if hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, i wouldn’t have thought it was possible.
i have to admit, lacking a 30 foot ladder, it took some time to figure out how to get myself perched on what is probably the most inaccessible section of our roof to try to get the bar back over the vent. i'm looking down on the treehouse movie theater deck which itself is 15 feet off the ground.
This was where i stayed in Saklikent Gorge.. so nice to see it without the bus loads of tourists from package deal hotels
Here's the 'waterfall' by the children's treehouse. I think the water is flowing out of a tunnel from part of a disused railine. If I was still a kid I'd be playing there all the time!
We stayed in a beautiful treehouse for one night

Have you ever been to a place that is so magical it feels like another world entirely?
TreeHouse Point is that place for me.
As a child I could scale any tree and would beg for a treehouse but my dad never relented. So when I saw this place it was a childhood dream realized. These are artistic, individual, fantastic little living spaces. You can spend the night in most of them! The photos of this place I've posted here hardly scratch the surface. I encourage you to at the very least take a tour of this stunning, magical property full of unique treehouses. There are many woodland paths, little rustic bridges, the most beautiful bubbling river full of smooth rocks, a gorgeous main lodge--the entire place feels like a fairyland or something out of Lord of the Rings or some such fantasy book or movie.
The experience is hardly one I can properly sum up. You must experience it for yourself.
