AWE AMONG THE ARBORS

Pete Nelson’s Arboreal Architectural

Masterpieces 

 For 25 years, Nelson has traveled around the world, creating the most environmentally sustainable, architecturally unique and whimsical treehouses in the world. These arboreal masterpieces showcase Nelson and his skilled team of craftsmen’s boundless creativity (a team that just so happens to include his son, Charlie and his wife, Judy), pushing them to create everything from a spa in the sky, to a fantasy-filling canopy clubhouse, to the first-ever treeline brewery.
This summer, Nelson and his company Nelson Treehouse and supply (http://www.nelsontreehousesupply.com) are busier than ever.  Nelson and his team are the subject of the new Animal Planet series “Treehouse Masters” premiering on Friday, May 31st at 10pm. “Treehouse Masters” takes viewers behind the scenes with Nelson, his family, and his team of craftsmen as they work to create the ultimate dream treehouse for their diverse array of clientele. Each episode tells the story of a single, unique treehouse, and its evolution through the design and build process, and ultimately…the reveal to satisfied, stunned clients.
Also coming this summer is Nelson’s appearance as a featured presenter on the Demonstration Stage at America’s largest art and design event, Dwell On Design on June 23rd, a 3-day conference curated by the editors of the elite shelter publication Dwell Magazine. The event brings together the biggest and brightest in the art and design community.

From building houses in the treetops of Japan to constructing around the majestic redwoods in Northern California, Nelson and his team work within the natural landscape of the property to create a unique and whimsical, yet practical and sustainable design. Often complete with running water and electricity, these arboreal retreats provide plenty of space and comfort for the clients, their children and their friends and even guests (the nelsons operate Treehouse point, a treetop B&B, near their home outside of Seattle, Washington)
