Welcome to Tiny Home Profiles, an interview series with people pushing the limits of living small. From space-saving hacks to flexible floor plans, here’s what they say makes for the best tiny homes on the planet. Know of a builder we should talk to? Reach out.There are tree houses and then there are ones by O2 Treehouse. Founded by Dustin Feider in 2006, the Oakland company merges his love of design and nature in a way that radically departs from any of the 2x4 forts you might have grown up with. The company’s portfolio includes a geodesic pine cone, a suspended climbing pod built using woven nets, and a faceted sphere structure with a tree growing through its center, crafted for The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger.The company recently worked with a family in Northern California to complete its newest design: a fantastical elven-inspired tree house appropriately dubbed Rivendllë, a reference to J.R.R Tolkien’s mythical valley in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. The 101-square-foot build features curved rafters, redwood siding, and a cedar-shingled roof that coalesce as a storybook-inspired backyard hideout.Here, Feider delves into how the company dreams up their projects—and what it takes to pull them off.The Rivendllë, the newest design from O2 Treehouse, evokes the whimsy of elven architecture.What qualities make your tiny homes stand apart from the rest? O2 Treehouse creates one-of-a-kind structures that connect people to the natural world and facilitate wonder for all ages. We pride ourselves on a collaborative process where we take a client’s budget and functional and aesthetic desires and find something that fits their aims. We like creating complicated forms that are still within code. "The structure can be customized with different attachment methods—mounted on a single tree, as pictured, suspended between multiple trees, or supported by stilts," says company architect Luke Wilson.What’s the most exciting project you’ve realized to date?The Pinecone was a landmark, but it’s since been surpassed by the Cloud Ripple project. The clients came to me with an old tree house they wanted to remove. They had previously hosted a dinner on construction scaffolding, which they loved so much they decided to build a tree house they could use as a dining deck. After exploring the site, we saw the capacity for something grander and integrated a kids’ play structure. The result was a primary structure with an almost boat-like form, encompassed by a wrapping facade that creates an understory play area.The Cloud Ripple structure includes multi-story netting with a flowing organic shape that extends from the underside of the ship-like central deck, featuring offset oculi that allows kids to climb between levels and access the different tree houses. We designed the netting with a gradient color palette of blues and purples that resemble the fruiting body of basket fungi.The project’s size allowed us to create a whole series of interconnected structures with rope bridges. I made a geodesic structure with all glass instead of plexiglass. It developed a mushroom-growth theme that evolved throughout the design, which resulted in a flowing and bubbly shape that encompasses four redwood trees. It features a spiral staircase for access, and the railing fall protection mimics turkey tail mushrooms that naturally grow off redwood trees.Each Rivendllë tree house is fabricated at the company’s workshop in Petaluma, California, but can be transported nationwide.What does your base model cost and what does that pricing include? The base model cost for custom work is $50,000, which will achieve either a cool kids’ play structure with an interior space and kinetic features, or on the short-term rental side, a simple geometric structure with a space of around 100 square feet. We also have standard models in our geodesic line of suspended shapes that start at $25,000 to $100,000 fully installed.  Installation is included in our costs, though this can be tricky for tree houses. We estimate average installation costs based on site conditions, ideally requiring vehicle access within 50 to 100 feet. Sometimes we need to zipline materials into the site to access different parts of the forest. Installation methods vary depending on the structure, design, and trees. We either suspend the tree houses behind trees, use beam or truss systems to span between trees, or work within a single tree structure. The tree house interior contains two small rooms outfitted with a pair of foldable bunk beds, shatterproof polycarbonate windows, white-stained framing, and brown wall panels.What aspects of the design can a client customize? Everything is customizable within a custom path, and even with our standard models, many elements can be changed, including flooring, canvas color, window location, and tree height to an extent. If there aren’t trees large enough, we can also stilt a structure. Because we have a custom fabrication facility, we can accommodate custom add-ons including lofts, rope bridges, and other additions. A secondhand window adds a bespoke accent to the interior.Where are your tiny homes currently available? We work nationwide and to a lesser extent internationally. Because we’re used to shipping prefabricated elements and mobilizing our specialized crews, and because the structures are highly custom, we are able to work overseas as well. How long can a client expect the process to take after they put down a deposit?For the custom process, our average is two to four months in design, two to four months in prefab, and two to four months in installation.For one of our standard models there is a minimal window of design time, and prefab and installation may happen within a shorter window, but it varies depending on the model, the client’s customization, and the logistics and location of the site.Do you assist with the placement of the tree house?We are available to be hired to run permitting. In almost all cases, because of the specialty installation required, we come out and work with the client to find the best location for installation on the property. Our service includes everything from permitting to site prep to ensuring everything from the electrical to plumbing systems is working.More Tiny Home Profiles: Source link

Welcome to Tiny Home Profiles, an interview series with people pushing the limits of living small. From space-saving hacks to flexible floor plans, here’s what they say makes for the best tiny homes on the planet. Know of a builder we should talk to? Reach out.There are tree houses and then there are ones by O2 Treehouse. Founded by Dustin Feider in 2006, the Oakland company merges his love of design and nature in a way that radically departs from any of the 2x4 forts you might have grown up with. The company’s portfolio includes a geodesic pine cone, a suspended climbing pod built using woven nets, and a faceted sphere structure with a tree growing through its center, crafted for The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger.The company recently worked with a family in Northern California to complete its newest design: a fantastical elven-inspired tree house appropriately dubbed Rivendllë, a reference to J.R.R Tolkien’s mythical valley in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. The 101-square-foot build features curved rafters, redwood siding, and a cedar-shingled roof that coalesce as a storybook-inspired backyard hideout.Here, Feider delves into how the company dreams up their projects—and what it takes to pull them off.The Rivendllë, the newest design from O2 Treehouse, evokes the whimsy of elven architecture.What qualities make your tiny homes stand apart from the rest? O2 Treehouse creates one-of-a-kind structures that connect people to the natural world and facilitate wonder for all ages. We pride ourselves on a collaborative process where we take a client’s budget and functional and aesthetic desires and find something that fits their aims. We like creating complicated forms that are still within code. "The structure can be customized with different attachment methods—mounted on a single tree, as pictured, suspended between multiple trees, or supported by stilts," says company architect Luke Wilson.What’s the most exciting project you’ve realized to date?The Pinecone was a landmark, but it’s since been surpassed by the Cloud Ripple project. The clients came to me with an old tree house they wanted to remove. They had previously hosted a dinner on construction scaffolding, which they loved so much they decided to build a tree house they could use as a dining deck. After exploring the site, we saw the capacity for something grander and integrated a kids’ play structure. The result was a primary structure with an almost boat-like form, encompassed by a wrapping facade that creates an understory play area.The Cloud Ripple structure includes multi-story netting with a flowing organic shape that extends from the underside of the ship-like central deck, featuring offset oculi that allows kids to climb between levels and access the different tree houses. We designed the netting with a gradient color palette of blues and purples that resemble the fruiting body of basket fungi.The project’s size allowed us to create a whole series of interconnected structures with rope bridges. I made a geodesic structure with all glass instead of plexiglass. It developed a mushroom-growth theme that evolved throughout the design, which resulted in a flowing and bubbly shape that encompasses four redwood trees. It features a spiral staircase for access, and the railing fall protection mimics turkey tail mushrooms that naturally grow off redwood trees.Each Rivendllë tree house is fabricated at the company’s workshop in Petaluma, California, but can be transported nationwide.What does your base model cost and what does that pricing include? The base model cost for custom work is $50,000, which will achieve either a cool kids’ play structure with an interior space and kinetic features, or on the short-term rental side, a simple geometric structure with a space of around 100 square feet. We also have standard models in our geodesic line of suspended shapes that start at $25,000 to $100,000 fully installed.  Installation is included in our costs, though this can be tricky for tree houses. We estimate average installation costs based on site conditions, ideally requiring vehicle access within 50 to 100 feet. Sometimes we need to zipline materials into the site to access different parts of the forest. Installation methods vary depending on the structure, design, and trees. We either suspend the tree houses behind trees, use beam or truss systems to span between trees, or work within a single tree structure. The tree house interior contains two small rooms outfitted with a pair of foldable bunk beds, shatterproof polycarbonate windows, white-stained framing, and brown wall panels.What aspects of the design can a client customize? Everything is customizable within a custom path, and even with our standard models, many elements can be changed, including flooring, canvas color, window location, and tree height to an extent. If there aren’t trees large enough, we can also stilt a structure. Because we have a custom fabrication facility, we can accommodate custom add-ons including lofts, rope bridges, and other additions.

[apotelexma]

Where there had once been a plummeting to the dark depths below, suddenly there was solid ground — solid ground that wasn't natural, or, perhaps to speak more precisely, it was the most natural thing in the world and that was precisely what made it not quite actual ground, because it was, in fact, a hand, a massive hand, that caught Dipper in his fall. A hulking body hunched overhead, protecting him from the rain, and I'm the distance, despite the current lack of movement from this giant, there was a sound of thunder.

"Are you... being all-right?"

(I hope it is ok for me to put Ingvar from the modern era gf/spn verse in the inbox for Dipper!!)

it had been a impulsive, stupid idea, something brought on by watching far too many tiktoks on one subject and his brain convincing him that he would be good at it. this lead him to climb a very, very tall canopy tree, multiple bundles of rope in hand, and him starting to create a web bridge-- his movements slow and unsure at first, but slowly started to be more confident with what he was doing; only stopping occasionally to rewatch a tiktok on his phone to make sure he was doing it right.

once he was done, he laid down on his web-- closing his eyes and relaxing, feeling the slight sway of the web as a gust of wind blew past him; cooling the sweat on his exposed skin. he was tired, but in a good way-- though his arm muscles in particular were throbbing, and he groaned softly at the pain.

his eyes remained closed, laying starfished on the ropes under the warm summer sun. dipper was barely able to register that he was getting sleepy before he dozed off-- his dreams fuzzy and unclear.

he's jerked awake by a sudden downpour, gasping in pain when he tried to move-- all of his muscles stiff as a board from their sudden overuse. he rolled onto his side to at least stop the rain from blinding and drowning him, coughing slightly. he knew he had to get down, and he forced his arms and legs to work with him-- crawling across the web to the rope ladder. he had to hype himself up, watching the ladder flick around fairly violently in the heavy winds.

dipper let out a soft curse under his breath and shimmied down through the netting and getting his feet on the ladder. he started to slowly descend, gritting his teeth against the pain in his arms and legs-- wincing heavily. then, as there's another crash of thunder, and a sudden violent gust hits him like a brick wall-- and suddenly his fingertips are burning as the role is ripped away from them, and he's tipping backwards.

this was such a stupid idea.

that's his first thought as he realizes that he's falling, feeling gravity gripping his body heavily. he feels like he's moving in slow motion at first, watching his hand reach desperately for the ladder but missing it by inches. then, everything is fast again. the fall is gut wrenching, and a scream of terror rips itself from his throat-- his voice cracking violently.

then, just as quickly, his back hit an oddly firm but soft surface and the rain wasn't blinding him anymore. dipper's eyes were wide with fright, chest heaving with heavy, gasping breaths as he stared up at what he initially thought was the underside of the trees dark canopies. it took the giant speaking for dipper's brain to slap two and two together.

"a-a giant?" he wheezed out, then abruptly shook his head-- flopping onto his back and putting a hand to his chest. "i...- oh, y-yes!" he called out over the storm, "i'm okay, thank you for catching me!" his mind was reeling, but something he knew for sure in that moment is that dipper was probably only alive because this person caught him-- and he was extremely grateful.

[websysteminternational]

At WEB Systems International , we are constantly talking about bridges. More importantly, we are constantly talking about how to keep people safe when they are working on the underside of bridges. We like to think that, one day, our WEB Deck™ and WEB Net™ will be helping to keep people safe in all of the most iconic bridges in the world.

[ukelicious]

OH THIS FUCKS HARD?! it does have a really good underside to it i like the supports... it's a fun one to be swinging around under or dangled off of. did they just figure out how to secure a net under this bridge really well and went "Well, gonna just reuse this setup forever" or something

i'm like 90% sure The Bridge made an appearance in V3 and think that it totally might have been in '71 rider as well (but my place memory for that show is not as good as it is for the other ones that just sort of set the stage for the locations they were gonna reuse later on) but i will always call it the X bridge because, i mean, look at the image i posted there. there's one reason it sticks out in my mind. i think you can guess from the cap why exactly the two got connected
