Our brief was to design and build a breath-taking aerial complex with a playroom for the kids and a separate area for the grownups to host parties. Perhaps the most striking thing about this project is that it is not one treehouse, but rather two separate and distinct treetop havens &#8211; each with their own unique features. This project was a great opportunity for the Blue Forest team to demonstrate our ability to create bold and complex structures infused with character and personality.<\/p>\n                \t<a class=\"line-link\" href=\"#the-design\" target=\"_self\">the design process<\/a>\n              <\/div>\n         <\/div>\n               <div class=\"features_container\">\n                    <div class=\"features-list\">\n            <h4>Features:<\/h4>\n                        <ul>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/toilet.png\" alt=\"Toilet\" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Toilet<\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kitchen.png\" alt=\"Kitchen\" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Kitchen<\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/satellite-deck.png\" alt=\"Satellite Deck\" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Satellite Deck<\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/robe-bridge.png\" alt=\"Rope Bridge\" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Rope Bridge<\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/adventure-play-equipment.png\" alt=\"Adventure Play Equipment \" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Adventure Play Equipment <\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                            <li>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/trap-door.png\" alt=\"Trap Door\" \/>\n                <span class=\"features_name\">Trap Door<\/span>\n              <\/li>\n                          <\/ul>\n                      <\/div>\n          \n                <\/div>\n      \n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"images-grid-container\" id=\"image-grid\">\n    <div class=\"images-grid-wrap\">\n                  <div class=\"images-grid-item four-images-grid-wrapp\">\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/living-highlife-tree-house-grid-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/living-highlife-tree-house-grid-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/living-highlife-tree-house-grid-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n              <div class=\"four-images-grid-item\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/living-highlife-tree-house-grid-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"images-grid-item single-image-grid\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/living-highlife-tree-house-large-grid-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n              <div class=\"images-grid-item single-image-grid\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/living-highlife-tree-house-large-grid-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n              <div class=\"images-grid-item single-image-grid\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/living-highlife-tree-house-large-grid-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"the-design\" class=\"textbox-w-lefttitle leaves-bg parallaxbg\" style=\"background-color: #ebeded ;

As well as offering dramatic vistas of the garden, the decks lead to a raised assault course. An eighty-yard zip wire descends from a crow\u2019s nest that sits above a balcony and leads down to an exciting adventure trail.<\/p>\n<p>The fairytale children\u2019s treehouse features a secret trapdoor which leads to a games room. Inside, the room is fully equipped with a plasma television and games console, meaning that the complex is a great place for the kids to hang out and relax with their friends\u2026 and not that bad for the \u2018adults\u2019 either! The children\u2019s treehouse features three differently sized conical towers, giving the design a fairytale quality.<\/p>\n<p>The adults\u2019 treehouse is fully furnished as a spectacular venue for treetop dinner parties, with a large and comfortable living area for entertaining. The adults\u2019 retreat also features a kitchen and toilet, meaning that the guests never need to walk back up to the main house. It has a stunning conical thatched roof with walls that are clad in hand-split oak shingles and cedar tongue-and-groove boards. The aesthetic ends up being an interesting fusion of safari lodge treehouse design and a kind of idealised medieval fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>The trunk of the host tree rises through the main room, giving the structure an impressive focal point.<\/p>\n                \t<a class=\"line-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blueforest.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_self\">contact us<\/a>\n              <\/div>\n
