Background:
As a child, most of us probably had this penchant for treehouses. Wanting to have one made for us in our backyard would probably be a dream fulfilled, maybe, it can even be considered as our dream house as a child.
As an introvert who shared a room with my sisters my entire life, I’ve always wanted to have my own room – a space where I can explore my creative pursuits and just be lazy all day long, all without leaving the confines of the room.
I remember making this design way back 2014. Times were hard for me back then, maybe that’s why I wanted an escape and I guess I always have this sudden spark of positivity whenever I get ahold of something that touches my childish dreams or something that would’ve been of interest for the child in me – one of which would be a tree house.

The design:
The stairs are made of woods attached to ropes which might not be the sturdiest, but they were designed in such a way where you can pull it all back up so there will be no trespassers.
A viewing deck was also added for certain occurrences such as the moon being very nice to look at and taking photos would be a breeze.

As for the room, I just wanted to have a very large space for the mattress where it’s just possible to roll around and move a lot in bed without falling. Aside from that, lots of pillows are mandatory.

Also, there needs to be a large screen TV for endless movie marathons, a book shelf to store books which I might want to read, and of course, a mini refrigerator for my food supply.

A mini workstation is also added for when I’m in the mood to write, but it needs to be comfy; thus, the bean bag chair.

Notes:
Since this was made roughly 4 years ago, certain preferences of mine have changed (the visibility from outside, the contents inside, etc). I actually have a new idea brewing up, but I'll save it for a later time.
