In a desire to create a space to escape from the always connected, tech craziness of Olin. I led the building of a treehouse 34ft off of the ground. The treehouse is fully enclosed with windows on all sides. We designed and built it in such a way that we have only produced one five gallon bucket full of waste.
A group of us built the main platform and basic roof structure during the summer of 2015. During fall 2015, I continued the project, framing the walls, adding windows, and installing siding.
We are currently working with upper administration to figure out how to manage risk and make sure that it continues to exist.
