Stately trees, a beautiful landscape, a good selection of leisure activities, and, if possible, a pre-existing infrastructure – a site that offers all these things is a good candidate for hosting a treehouse hotel. Add a realistic chance of obtaining a building permit, and the auspices for success are very good indeed. A family from Bad Zwischenahn is the owner of a property that offers all these advantages. In the past, the property was a working farm, but after the end of the farming activities, the family started considering new options for utilising the adjacent forests and the unused parts of the agricultural buildings. The client’s ideas initially centred around a complex of four treehouses. In a subsequent phase of the development, the old farm buildings would be restored and converted into activity areas. The third phase would involve the construction of additional treehouses to accommodate extra guests. Baumraum developed a design that represented an unusual contrast to the architecture common in this region. The treehouse cabins, each of which is almost 13 metres long, were offset against one another and placed in the forest. While the weight of the cabins rests on 14 irregularly arranged steel columns, each of the treehouse terraces is suspended from a tree. A straight steel stairway provides access to the treehouses, which stand at a height of 3.5 metres above the ground.

The tree house cabin has a bedroom for two persons, a fully equipped bathroom and a living area with kitchenette and two additional sleeping areas.
The interior was designed by Helmut C.Diez. For the interior, which is characterised by transverse larch wood, he has designed and produced a small series of many furnishings such as cupboard fronts, beds, tables, chests and washbasins. Extraordinary wardrobe doors were imported from China, Africa and the German-speaking countries and, among other accessories, serve to distinguish the first four tree houses. The best materials were used everywhere. This is how tree house suites were created, which have won many international awards.
