Outdoor Space & Landscape

Timber Trace Tree House

Nestled within a lush canopy, this home transforms a once-disconnected deck into a seamless extension of indoor living. Elevated to match the main floor, this refined retreat maximizes its compact site while embracing existing trees. A trellis and brise soleil temper the sun’s intensity, blending function with architectural poetry. The result? A sculptural sanctuary suspended in nature—both a modern respite and a nostalgic nod to childhood treehouse dreams.
