The Lookout Loft

The Lookout Loft is a rustic Adirondack style treehouse that is universally accessible. Designed for people of all ages and physical abilities, the treehouse consists of a series of ramps and pavilions that showcase multiple wood species in a range of natural and converted forms. The various woods and their textures beckon a visitor to touch them, engaging one on a kinesthetic level. A progression from open ramp to more enclosed pavilions focus a visitor’s attention from the forest floor up to the canopy above and then outwards through the tree trunks and towards a farm field to the East. The wood species, including northern white cedar, hop hornbeam, spruce and ipe, were selected for their inherent durability, workability and beauty. Interpretive signage helps visitors to appreciate the forest, the trees, and their woods.
