Durham Tree House

Durham, NC

2024

Nestled into a wooded lot near downtown Durham, this new home was designed to feel grounded and light, floating gently above the landscape while connecting to the land, sky, and a quietly meandering creek. The layout includes four bedrooms and three and a half baths within 2,500 thoughtfully planned square feet. Generous windows, a screened porch, and outdoor patios create strong ties between daily life and the natural world. With a warm, modern spirit, the design balances openness with privacy and fun with efficiency—all carefully shaped around the site and tuned to the family’s vision and budget.
