I’ve seen many tree houses. They’re all very similar but yours are something completely different. Was that your brief to the architects?
Kent: “Yes, I told the architects that they must come up with a unique design and that they could not speak to each other. They had to do it by themselves and couldn’t look at any other ideas. They had to create something new that you couldn’t find anywhere else in the world.
We also decided that the tree houses must be comfortable hotel rooms useable year-round, even in severe cold temperatures or rain, and that they must be safe and easy to reach by a better system than standard ladders.”
