An artistic spectacle rather than a traditional tree-house, this unique place is widely regarded as one of the city's most intriguing points of interest. With its memorable aesthetic appeal and egalitarian philosophy, TreeHouse Savannah has rapidly become an emblem of Savannah's vibrant art scene and a must-visit attraction for tourists and locals alike.
Despite the simple moniker 'TreeHouse', this point of interest dates back to 2011 and was founded by Tm Gratkowski and Wendy Given. This artistic creation feeds off Savannah's historical backdrop and modern vibrancy. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, this part-playground and part-sculpture offers a place where people can both appreciate art and experience the joy of climbing into a structure suspended from trees.
One of TreeHouse's crowning features is its intricate and multi-tiered design: it was built with a concoction of reclaimed materials, tree trunks, branches, and milled lumber. Visitors can explore the crisscrossing wood ladders, gaze upwards through the overlapping wooden planks that make up the roof, or relax on one of the numerous platforms. Each level offers a different perspective of Savannah, a hidden gem tucked away in the lively city. In addition to its artistic appeal, TreeHouse also supports Savannah's local arts scene, functioning as a community center that hosts a variety of local art events, exhibitions, and cultural gatherings creating more than just a visual spectacle, but a vibrant hub of community interaction.
Another impressive aspect of TreeHouse Savannah is its support and promotion of environmental sustainability. The entire structure uses recycling on a monumental scale, with all elements from locally sourced and repurposed materials, reflecting the city's commitment to preservation and sustainability.
In summary, visiting TreeHouse Savannah is immersing oneself into a world where art, community, and sustainability intersect. Whether exploring the tiers of the structure, meeting locals at a community event or simply marveling at the sight of such an unusual structure amid an urban setting, the Treehouse offers a unique experience that should be embraced by travelers. Art lovers, sustainability enthusiasts, and those seeking a unique experience will be particularly enchanted, but anyone looking for the path less taken in the vibrant city of Savannah should ensure a visit to this one-of-a-kind point of interest.
