Featured on Pete Nelson's Treehouse Masters, Season 3: Episode 3, "Bionic Tree House." http://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/treehouse-masters/ Architectural Elements had the amazing opportunity to help Pete Nelson renovate one of his very first tree house projects. The house's original wooden supports & staircase were old and decayed. Architectural Elements fabricated and installed new, steel support beams that would move and grow with the trees. We also created a segmented staircase with blackened steel railings. Inside the house, we provided a kinetic ladder to access a lofted relaxation space.

These Katy TX homeowners were looking for a space that would combine their love for the outdoors and watching sports. Tradition Outdoor Living designed a unique open plan that includes a covered patio flanked by two cedar pergolas and a stone fire pit. This combination of structures provides a fully protected lounge area for TV viewing and two partially shaded areas for grilling and dining in comfort. The covered patio has an open gable roof with cedar trusses, cedar trimmed columns and beams. The stained tongue and groove ceiling is fitted out with recessed lighting and ceiling fans. The matching pergolas provide partial shade while allowing natural light to filter through. The concrete was extended to create room for seating around the fire pit. The concrete is stamped and stained to coordinate with the stone fire pit and stone footers. Rustic lighting, furniture and decor create a laid back, rugged outdoor retreat.

Few new materials were used in the completion of this project; the existing redwood siding, limestone and other materials were able to be reused in the finished product. We stripped the limestone from the front of the building, which became the source for the indoor and outdoor screen porch fireplaces. Copper balusters were made from old copper tubing that was removed from the basement while reworking the plumbing. Vertical redwood siding was carefully truly turned out to be greater than the sum of its parts.
