From Edwin Fang

The Arched Nook is a playful treehouse designed by Los Angeles-based architect Edwin Fang, inspired by his daughter's simple request for a backyard escape. With a background that spans Taiwan and South Africa, Edwin brought a unique cultural perspective to the project. He crafted the Arched Nook using existing wood deck planks, incorporating arched openings that give the structure a whimsical yet elegant appeal. These arch-shaped cut-outs are not just eye-catching; they add a touch of sophistication while maintaining a sense of fun, inviting children and adults alike to explore.

Edwin's approach to the design of the Arched Nook reflects a balance of creativity and practicality. The pre-engineered structural braces he used ensure stability, allowing the arches to be more than mere decorative elements. They frame the views from within the treehouse and create an airy, open atmosphere that encourages imaginative play. In many ways, the Arched Nook is a fusion of Edwin's cultural roots and his daughter's dreams, resulting in a treehouse that is as inviting as it is distinctive.
