Background Our clients had a lovely woodland down the road from their property, in a small Hamlet on the edge of the Cotswolds. There was a steep incline to struggle on each day, but a journey to the top afforded the visitor a view through the canopy with a real feeling of height before even getting off the ground. We utilised this by placing the Tree house on the edge of the drop, with the main platform extending out over the hill.
A beautiful listed mansion house that had been lovingly renovated apart from the last of the 4 walled triangles that flanked the Stately Home. This area had been designated for the children and our client wanted a unique play space ensconced within.
It was essential that the whole tree house scheme had plenty of activities and encouraged movement around the different elements. Several children should be happily entertained at the same time, and of course safety was an important consideration. Our client was also justifiably proud of his garden and so the scheme needed to work well with the overall landscape and existing trees.
An extensive renovation was happening to the house and grounds, recently purchased by this busy family. The gardens included with them an extensive woodland area that in places was quite boggy underfoot, especially in the rainy months. The woodland had been unmanaged for years and they wanted to find a way to utilise this magical space.
