This is “Treetopia 1” as christened by my daughter.
It is a fantasy dollhouse/treehouse/castle which is entirely handmade.
The base of Treetopia 1 is to windfall branches from a local wood. Built around these are a series of buildings, bridges, ladders, staircases and platforms. Each piece is hand cut and sanded and a variety of woods including walnut, cedar and pine have been used. Reclaimed wood was used wherever possible.
Treetopia 1 represents hundreds of hours of work. It was made for my daughter, but when we moved house, to an older building, we found it would not fit through her bedroom door. It stands just over five feet tall and is about two and a half feet wide. I have now donated it to a local junior school for the Reception children to enjoy. Treetopia 2 is almost finished and will most assuredly fit through my daughter's bedroom door at five feet high and just over two feet wide.
I will soon begin Treetopia 3. It will look similar to 1 and 2 but will include more conical roofs and a Tudor style building I have experimented with. Bridges, ladders and platforms will connect the various buildings. It will be similar in scale to Treetopia 2, so will definitely fit in any room!
