It was important to Doug to minimize damage to the tree and pay careful attention to its structure while he built the tree house. This meant that the design needed to allow for growth of the tree's branches.

The family repurposed as much of the construction material as possible. A neighbor donated the worn clapboard siding, which ties the tree house's style to the main home's redwood siding. Vintage windows — including some with stained glass — and salvaged French doors make the structure feel more like a home. Add to ideabook by Alex Amend Photography by Alex Amend Photography A vintage chandelier and several bedside lamps light the interior. Running electricity into the treehouse required the help of an electrician friend. Wiring also allowed for ecofriendly heating, Wi-Fi and cable. Add to ideabook by Alex Amend Photography by Alex Amend Photography Two bunks provide sleeping space. A glass dormer inspired by one on the family's garage allows the east-facing light to flow through the home. Add to ideabook by Alex Amend Photography by Alex Amend Photography Simple, irregular shelving between the tree house studs creates storage space for games and books. A down-filled duvet, vintage trunks, quilts and pillows add to the space's cozy ambience. The Studebakers decided to build this treehouse when they moved to the property in 1994. But like many home projects, it was put on the back burner, until about 10 years ago. At the time, building a tree house was like an antidote to Doug's corporate construction work. Now he focuses on building safe, tree-friendly and playful tree houses for other families and organizations through his company, Treehouse Design & Construction. Add to ideabook by Alex Amend Photography by Alex Amend Photography Plenty of windows, including some that can be opened, allow for natural light and air movement. A TV nestled at the top of the front door is visible from both beds. Add to ideabook by Alex Amend Photography by Alex Amend Photography Decks wrap around three sides of the tree house to allow guests to step out and fully experience this stunning tree. Add to ideabook by Alex Amend Photography by Alex Amend Photography Now that the family rents out the tree house, it's become even more of a treasure. "In recent years, this tree house has proven to be sort of a Field of Dreams experience for our family," says Doug. "When we built it over a decade ago, we had no idea that it would bring such special guests from around the world to experience it for a couple days and nights." Most leave notes, stories, illustrations or photographs of the parts that they loved the most.

Love the repurposed door and window.
