Luxury Treehouse Builder Climbs New Heights


World Treehouses of Asheville owners Adam Laufer takes in the view from the top, as his wife, Erin, looks on.

At Hickory Nut Treehouse, internationally acclaimed treehouse creator Adam Laufer designed a hand-crafted custom cupola for style, but it is also practical. It sports four large windows to bring loads of natural light into the space.

What a waste to have such a gorgeous view with no access. We want to get up there! Adam embraced the challenge of allowing that light to trickle down through the now three-level tree retreat, and he invented a fun way to get up there. The idea of a glass floor was hatched and now it’s nested high up in the custom treehouse.

Where else can you climb all the way to the top anytime you want? Accessible by a rope ladder, the glass floor inspires treehouse visitors (kids and adults alike) to see and communicate with one another on different levels. Up above, they are treated to a 360 degree view of the beautiful, forested property surrounding them and a real top-of-the-world feeling.
