The design and building of Tree House was a labor of love. Whitney Sander designed this house for his sister.Tree House sits on a cul-de-sac at the end of a mature subdivision in Wilmington, DE. It is filled with century-old deciduous trees, which form a magnificent canopy 150 feet above the site.
A stream runs around the house, and because of certain restrictions of the Army Corps of Engineers and because of the potential for flooding, the buildable area is quite small. This induced the firm to design a vertical house, with raised Living Room and Master Suite. These spaces give one the feeling of being in the trees.
