Big day today for the ZenTreehouse! Delinda and I met with the septic/well engineer (who is a geologist) and got the location for both squared away. Then we met with our architect and the structural engineer who will be figuring out how to get our treehouse 30′ in the air above the canopy of the…
We met with our architect today and we went over the preliminary design. Prior to this, I spent a fair bit of time compiling a design ideas document of images and ideas that I really loved (some tree house, some not).

Great meeting today at the site with the architect and builder today. The weather was perfect and we decided on the location for the two platforms – one for the main treehouse and the other for the second bedroom/bath/deck treehouse. We already filed the well permit, which takes 4-6 weeks. We’ve already talked to the…
I just learned about this site called PlansMatter. This site provides access to a very limited number of architectural gems across the world. We hope that our ZenTreehouse will qualify for this site! Here are a few of my favorites…
