Treehouse Design, Inc.

The name Treehouse has always made me smile. I instantly visualize a really cool space that is very unique. That is exactly what I have gotten in my experiences working with this company. I have twice hired Treehouse Design. Once for a modern addition and new deck and most recently they have drawn plans to renovate and modernize my 1950 Cape located in Lanesville, Ma. I have been very happy in all respects working with them. Tim Thurman and his associates are not only professional and easy to work with. They are all highly creative. The attention to detail and individual attention paid to my esthetic and budget created a perfect pairing. I cannot recommend this company more highly. Tim, Nichole and Meg were my *team*. The cohesiveness they shared added to the seamless end result of my plans. The project will be executed beginning March of 2018. Could not be happier! Thank you Treehouse! And a special thanks to Nichole Arvanites.

We just moved home in mid-May to a renovated 1790's cape that that Tim Thurman and Ellen Levine of Treehouse designed for us. It is spectacular and exceeds every expectation we had (the builders also had a hand in that, but the stellar design led the way). The architectural challenge of merging an addition into a classic old home confounded other firms that we were considering, but Treehouse created a "flow" that feels seamless now that we are living in it. Most importantly, we were "heard" throughout the design process, and the final result beautifully matches the dream that we have had percolating since we bought the house 20 years ago. In short, we love these folks.

Treehouse made the process of building our dream home on the water a fun and painless experience. Tim took our ideas and likes and transformed them into a design that worked for the site as well as opening up our minds to new design concepts. The Treehouse crews showed up every day and were very professional. They also offered a very creative designer to help us with all the finishing touches. They finished on time and also stayed on budget! We were so happy with their work ethic and professionalism that we had them come back to do an office over our garage as well. We highly recommend them!

Treehouse staff was wonderful to work with and their creativity and attention to detail was outstanding. We love our house and Tim and Warren are always responsive when we have questions or repairs even 3 plus years later. Would highly recommend them.

We interviewed many local architects before deciding to hire Tim Thurman, which turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. We appreciated not only his emphasis on "green" design elements and materials, but his holistic approach to the design process, and attitude about how we, and those who follow here after we are gone, may use these spaces now and in the (changeable) future. I chose to have Treehouse also build the house, another very good decision. Thereby, we learned about the dedication and loyalty their very proficient staff, and independent tradespeople, have to Tim and Cheryl. I am a leader of teams for live show production and picked up on Tim's genuine concern for the needs and interests of everyone who works with them. Many times we heard people say their first choice would always be to work for Treehouse and deliver the best quality they could. "Look at how excellent this house is! It makes me feel great to be part of this project." The Treehouse staff have so much experience and also dedication to their projects. We are so pleased to be now living here. It makes us feel good. It's so comfortable year around and I have negligible utility bills. We love the views. Naturally, the house is not perfect, but the few issues are very minor and we all saw them ahead because of necessary design compromises. Sorry I don't have more photos of the interior, but it took us a while to move in and get set up and I've been so busy with the rest of my life. In summation, everybody was very professional and showed great depth of knowledge, not only of their department, but those around them. They gave us invaluable advice as we went along. The quality of the work was top notch and done expeditiously. Tim, Cheryl, and I went over the budget every two weeks which was most helpful and kept the project under control. Our kudos to all involved and thank you so much!

Treehouse transformed our small colonial from an awkward 'shotgun' floor plan to a delightful and bright home. The Treehouse team handled everything; architectural plans, meetings with Historical Preservation Committee as well as all phases of construction. All of the craftsmen who worked on the project were highly skilled and a pleasure to have on our property. Everyone loves our Treehouse Custom Kitchen.

Working with the whole Treehouse team was a pleasure from start to finish. I've never before been involved in a construction project that I was sad to have end! And Treehouse remains responsive to all questions and concerns (these are few) that arise. The house that Tim Thurman designed for us is beautiful inside and out, sensitively designed to echo the landforms around it and to maximize the available light at all times of day. We love it.

We are in the process now of renovating our beach home. We find Treehouse very open to our needs and wants. They always offer wonderful and useful alternatives. We are not novices to renovation and know when we are working with a GOOD builder.

Treehouse is a group of very talented, very professional individuals who listen to what you have to say. They are creative and have no problem thinking out of the box. Their subcontractors are all top notch. our experience from start to finish was a positive one and are now happily living in the home of our dreams!

Tim and his crew did a total reinvention of our 1700s era cottage, and made it into a cozy little jewel. They added extra square footage, moved walls, dug a basement, and more, and made us a perfect little getaway. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
