Company

Founder, Andrew Harwood

I gained an honors degree in Art, specialising in sculpture and installation art from the University of Humberside. I've been working in design and construction for almost 20 years and founded Treetop Design in 1999. Whilst working for my fathers renovation company (T W Harwood and Sons Ltd, Tel 01491 576320) in Henley-on-Thames I worked on a wide range of buildings. Much of the work being on listed buildings, either refurbishment or alterations.

One special project was the replacement of the timber frame in an Elizabethan one up one down workers cottage, because of the lack of mains electricity I cut mortise and tenon joints using only hand tools and a paraffin lamp. Not dissimilar to when the original timbers were cut and constructed!

I also worked for the National Trust and on many prestigious private jobs.

History

I founded the company in 1999, specialising in outdoor wood designs and construction.

More specifically, tree houses, outdoor rooms and walkways. I work closely with clients to ensure my designs fully echo what the client wants from their structure, its look and how it works within its environment.

My company takes great care to use sustainable wood sources and the very best materials for and methods of construction.

To this end I have designed and constructed outdoor rooms, pathways, offices, guest houses, pool houses, entertaining areas and playhouses for a wide range of discerning private clients.
