Elmfield Treehouse
The idea for the back corner of this urban garden was to create a treehouse big enough for the kids to sleep in with as many cool play features and climbing options as possible. At initial conception, the shape was a little loose but as we started to build a colourful creation took shape around the beautiful young holly tree on the left and Lawson cypress on the right. By fanning the floor joists out over our main beams we formed a curved deck that appeared to float. Into the joists we laid an assortment of monkey bars, wooden loops and hanging ropes so the kids could scale the entire sub-structure without ever touching the floor. The balustrade is a combination of riven and stag oak, which gives the railing its wriggly nature. The house itself has a bespoke doorway that sits underneath a hipped roof. Accessible only from inside the treehouse is a rocket slide that shoots out of a secret side door.
