06 Tree House
This house, discretely located on a tall dune in the maritime forest of a barrier island provides a peaceful escape from the city for the owners and their extended family. Originally constructed in the mid-1970’s, this home was renovated, and additional outdoor decks were added, providing the occupants with multiple places to sit and enjoy the unique characteristics of living under, inside of, and above the existing grove of large live oak trees. Using red cedar shingles as wall cladding, and finishing the exposed trim and structural members with a dark color found in the shadows of the forest, the Tree House seamlessly blends into its unique setting.
