That Treehouse Magic
When we were kids, my brother would build treehouses in the woods behind our house. We loved scaling the boards he'd nail into a tree and hanging out in our "no grown ups allowed" lofty clubhouse. Our other favorite spaces were forts we made in the basement and the unfinished attic.
Now that I'm a grown up, I don't even like to enter dank basements, and I'm not a big fan of my sweatbox of an attic either. However, when I strolled the new Canopy Walk at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens a few weeks ago, I found I still love that feeling of being up in the trees. Here are some projects that can transport you into that treehouse feeling.

The only thing better than a treehouse is a treehouse-like balcony complete with hot tub!
From the architect: "This secluded cabin is part of a larger compound created for a family's private retreat in the San Juan's. This client wanted her own private space where she could spend rainy afternoons surrounded by nature to work on her writing."
