A stainless-steel slide curls down through the interior of this elevated playhouse, which is topped by a crow’s nest offering views in excess of New York’s Hudson River Valley .
The Garrison Treehouse was developed by Manhattan studio Sharon Davis Style for the grounds of a farmstead in Garrison, a hamlet on the east bank of the Hudson River in upstate New York.
Whilst the “treehouse” is affixed to the ground by 4 metal poles rather than to a tree, the architects gave it the title for its elevated positioned amongst a thicket of trees.
The two ranges of the timber-clad playhouse attribute a giant hammock as properly as a writing desk, and are linked by a curving slide, trapdoors and ladders.
“A custom stainless-steel slide arcs between the roof deck and major room, forming an elegant sculptural object beneath which guests loosen up in a lounging net,” stated the architects.
The treehouse has a steel construction that was fabricated off-site and lifted into area by a crane.

It is clad in planks of reclaimed white cedar and partially lined in sheets of polycarbonate, but is open to the sky.
A climbing internet hangs from the underside of the stilted framework, delivering a safety net for the trapdoor entrance above.
A 2nd piece of rope netting is strung across a void in the first floor, creating a giant hammock that is positioned to consider in views of the Hudson River Valley.
A wall-mounted ladder prospects up via a 2nd trapdoor to the crow’s nest over, which hosts a mahogany writing desk.
Downstairs, a little balcony that juts from one side of the structure is directed in the direction of the family members home.
Gaps among the supporting struts of a banister that runs all around the balcony allow kids to exit and descend down to the ground, via a pair of structural columns that perform as fireman’s poles.
