Tree House Design & Construction Services

As full-service timber frame builders, we manage all aspects of your build in-house. Our work begins with a detailed site assessment and collaborative design phase, ensuring the structure suits your needs, complements the environment, and adheres to relevant planning or safety regulations.

Investing in tree houses with HUTI Ltd means benefiting from:

  • Full architectural design using CAD software
  • Structural engineering and load analysis for safety
  • Sustainable timber sourcing and material selection
  • Off-site fabrication for efficiency and quality control
  • On-site assembly and finishing touches

We fabricate major components in our Kingsbridge workshop, just a short trip from nearby Salcombe, to guarantee precision and reduce disruption on-site. Whether the final structure is suspended between mature trees or supported by standalone posts, we deliver safe, beautiful, and enduring results.

Why Invest in Bespoke Tree Houses?

Opting for a bespoke tree house opens the door to limitless creativity, practical use, and long-term value. Our clients commission tree houses for many reasons, including:

  • Quiet woodland retreats for meditation, reading, or yoga
  • Off-grid weekend escapes and artist studios
  • Rental opportunities through platforms like Airbnb
  • Guest accommodation that feels magical yet functional

With a luxury tree house, you can elevate your property’s appeal and create memorable experiences for guests, friends, or family.

Benefits of investing in a bespoke design include:

  • Custom layouts tailored to your land and lifestyle
  • Enhanced privacy and connection to nature
  • Unique architecture that enhances property value

Our Materials and Craftsmanship

At HUTI Ltd, we bring the same technical precision and design ethos used in our cabins and studios to every luxury tree house we build.

  • Insulated timber floors, walls, and roofs for year-round use
  • Cladding and detailing that complements coastal or woodland surroundings
  • Optional features such as wood-burning stoves, balconies, and rope bridges

We prioritise sustainable practices throughout, using locally sourced timber for our tree houses and recommending eco-friendly heating and off-grid technologies.
