The site of this treehouse near the town of Uslar in Lower Saxony is located beside an old forester’s house in a small side valley. A handsome stand of hemlock spruce by the lower of the two ponds was chosen as the site of the treehouse, and soon the decision was made to set a two-storey treehouse tower into the pond itself and connect it with the hemlock spruces by means of a long terrace. Two of the trees pierce the terrace to welcome visitors to the treehouse. From this vantage point, the narrow deck of larch wood seems to float above the water of the pond until it reaches the rounded treehouse tower. At night, the upper room is a comfortable place to sleep and dream and, when the skies are clear, to gaze at the stars through the domed skylight.
