About Tree House
Nestled in Nature: The Tree House
The Tree House is set in the beautiful Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. It’s built on a hill and designed to protect the environment, especially the protected dunes nearby. This vacation home offers peace and quiet, surrounded by trees. It also has amazing views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.
Sunlight and Scenery at Every Level
We put the main living areas at the top of the house. This way, it feels like you’re really in a treehouse. The rooms are set up to get the best light. For example, the main bedroom gets the morning sun, and the kitchen faces west for lovely evening colors.
Windows on each floor show off different views of the area. They also let in lots of sunlight all day long.
Artistic Design with a Green Touch
The house looks like a piece of art. It has big sections that look like they’ve been cut out. These spaces are for the outside balconies. They help you feel close to nature and add a cozy feel. The balconies use cedar wood, which looks nice with the white steel of the house. They also help bring light inside in a fun way.
We also focused on being eco-friendly. The Tree House has special insulation, strong materials, energy-saving lights, floor heating, and local plants. These choices are good for the environment and make the house fit in with nature.
