Kebony Used To
Create Perfect
Treehouse
Escape
Blue Forest, the luxury treehouse designers, have recently
completed their ‘At the Water’s Edge’ project, an ambitious
bespoke treehouse complex, complete with Kebony decking
throughout. Following the success of Blue Forest’s previous
project which incorporated Kebony, The Quiet Treehouse – a
stand-alone luxury tree home which was displayed at the Ideal
Home Show in London Earl’s Court and RHS Hampton Court
Palace Flower show - Blue Forest have decided to work Kebony
into another of their impressive eco-builds.
The ‘At the Water’s Edge’ project consists of a fairy tale inspired
treehouse village with an enchanting aesthetic to enthral and
amaze children for hours on end. Turreted individually designed
treehouses provide kids with their own personal spaces to
retreat to via cargo nets and Indiana Jones style rope bridges,
while The Lake House, with its private gym, luxury showers and
Koi Carp Lake creates a tranquil escape for adults.
Kebony was chosen for the decking throughout the project,
both at ground level and for the raised flooring between the
treehouses. It was picked both for its beauty and striking
natural colour – a rich brown that mellows over time into a
more muted silver grey patina, in addition to its robust stability.
Blue Forest is the world’s leading luxury treehouse and ecohome builders. They create treehouses which blend seamlessly
into their natural surroundings and reflect the ambience of the
environment in which they are built, aiming to bring people
back in touch with nature and with a childhood sense of
freedom.
