Modern treehouse with glass walls and cedar siding suspended among pine trees.

The cedar bench flips up to create more space in the tight retreat.

Contemporary treehouse raised among tall pine trees in grassy landscape.

“One of our charges was to touch lightly on the site,” says architect Tom Murdough. “Elevating the structure off the ground, letting it float, helped in that regard and also heightens the sense of escape.”

Murdough Design project manager Jenny Tjia managed the execution of the fully retractable glazing that connects the inside of the tree house to the 120-square-foot deck—and the landscape beyond.

Elevated cedar-clad treehouse with black steel stair nestled among tall pine trees.

We created a dialogue between the trees themselves and the columns that support the tree house,” Murdough says. A transom on the back end and walls that turn into windows as they reach the ceiling bring in light from all four sides.

Private outdoor shower with wood screen, stone wall, and gravel ground.

A mahogany fence creates privacy around the newly built outdoor shower, while a mahogany hinged swing door doubles as a place to hang towels. The designers selected the water-resistant wood for its patina: it turns a silvery gray when exposed to the elements.

The property slopes twenty feet from front to back, allowing the lower level to be transformed into a light-filled living space and the pool to catch plenty of light while retaining privacy. “We created the pool to have a direct relationship with the harbor,” says Sudbury Design Group’s Michael Coutu.

Coutu created a variety of terrace areas, including a firepit, to help bring the backyard down to scale. “The walk-out basement sort of serves as a cabana,” he says, eliminating the need for a pool house.

The fireplace in the primary bedroom is finished with wood paneling rather than stone. “It felt warmer,” says Layman, “and was a blend of the couple’s competing preference for modern and traditional decor.” The artwork above the fireplace is by Julia Purinton, while the art on the right is by Jim Westphalen.
