The Hemloft
“People thought I had gone a little bit mad,” says Allen. “I was compulsively refreshing Craigslist every two minutes waiting for that next item to come up and grab it before anyone else.”
Joel helped by his friends, since he’s not an architect, built the tree house and kept the secret for three years, because Canadian officials wouldn’t be thrilled to learn he was squatting; but at the end he contacted Dwell Magazine, which published for the first time his tree house and in this way he broke the silence.
All the furniture inside is from Craigslist finds, and Joel used the space behind the stairs to place a little desk and to build sleeping quarters into the loft. In the terrace is situated a little kitchen, to cook something and eating on the open air looking at the mountains.
