The HemLoft

A Secret Treehouse, hiding in the woods of Whistler. The HemLoft is a self-funded secret creation that I built on crown land in Whistler, Canada.

It hangs on a precipitous slope, in a towering stand of hemlocks, about a five minute walk from the nearest road. When I started building it, I was just a fledgling carpenter, living out of my car. Building an experimental orb deep in the woods, with no electrical power, isn’t the recommended way to ease yourself into carpentry. However, I was armed with a couple of the most powerful tools a carpenter can have: blind naiveté and supreme determination.
