Outdoor Childhood, Slow Play & Building a Life in Nature | The Treehouse Life Story

The Story

What does it take to build a life — and a world-leading company — around something you love? In this first episode of the Treehouse Life Podcast, we sit down with Paul, founder of Treehouse Life, to explore the story, philosophy, and purpose behind one of the world's most extraordinary bespoke luxury treehouse companies.

This isn't just a story about treehouses. It's about outdoor childhood, slow play, nature connection, and why the spaces we design for children matter more than we often realise.

Paul shares how his journey with treehouses, outdoor design, and adventure began long before Treehouse Life became an international business — from early hands-on craftsmanship to the challenges of building a family-run company in one of the world's most creative and unusual industries.

We explore what truly sets Treehouse Life apart: the balance of creativity, engineering, safety, sustainability, and imagination — and why concepts like slow play, childlike wonder, and living closer to nature sit at the heart of every single build, from private family gardens in the UK to luxury resort projects around the world.

Paul reflects on defining builds, memorable moments from the field, and the lessons learned from designing and building extraordinary spaces that reconnect families with nature.

The conversation also explores entrepreneurship, purpose-led business, and what it really takes to turn passion into a lasting company.

This episode is for families who want more for their children's childhood, dreamers who have always wanted a treehouse, designers and architects inspired by nature-led craftsmanship, entrepreneurs building something they believe in, and anyone drawn to slow living, outdoor adventure, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
