The Cedar Spire Treehouse at Melville House as featured on BBC Scottish news 13 May 2009

After a severe lighting strike destroyed the largest limb of a 500 year old Cedar tree, the owner was looking for an interesting way to fill the sizeable gap that remained. Our solution was to create a stunning and unique structure that could be used as a fantasy Treehouse for children, but which could also keep the adults thoroughly entertained.

Standing at the end of a long driveway on a grand Scottish estate in Fife, this imposing Treehouse stands at over 45 feet tall, with the large natural Cedar shingle roof blending in not only with it's surroundings, but also with the copper clad fairytale turrets.

Sunlight streams through the stained glass windows and doors - the top floor being a secluded space reached by a ladder making it an ideal place for an exciting sleepover.

Across a suspended bridge sits a large treedeck under the shelter of an attractive Copper beech.

A Place of your Own in Which to Unwind

With only the sound of the water below and the wind in the branches above to distract from the magnificent views, this tranquil haven takes full advantage of what must be one of the most dramatic settings in the Scottish Highlands

In a grand Scots Pine on the very edge of a quite loch, we have designed a rather special retreat which perfectly complements the authentic Art and Crafts house which Stands just a short distance across the lawn. Taking their inspiration from this eclectic style made popular by the designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Treasured Dreams craftsmen carefully re-created timber work details from the house, giving the impression that this unique structure may have been in place almost as long as the house itself.
