For more than three decades, Stiles Designs in East Hampton has been transforming childhood imagination into remarkable architectural creations. Founded by husband and wife David and Jeanie Stiles in 1993, the company has become known for designing and building custom treehouses that blend craftsmanship, creativity and nature.
What began as a passion project has grown into an internationally recognized design business. The couple’s treehouses have been featured in Architectural Digest and showcased on national television, highlighting their distinctive approach to outdoor structures. Each design is tailored to the location and the vision of the client, whether it is a traditional treehouse perched among branches or a storybook style structure nestled within a grove of trees.
Stiles Designs has built treehouses across Long Island and beyond, with projects stretching to locations such as Connecticut, Virginia and Beverly Hills. Some of their most memorable creations include a treehouse designed to match a historic East Hampton estate once owned by Jacqueline Kennedy and a whimsical Lord of the Rings–inspired structure featuring a carved staircase and pulley system for delivering snacks and toys.
While treehouses remain their signature work, the company also designs and builds a variety of outdoor structures including playhouses, forts, gazebos, garden houses and cabins. The Stileses have also written roughly 30 instructional books on building and design, with more than one million copies sold worldwide, sharing their expertise with aspiring builders and DIY enthusiasts.
Each project reflects a philosophy that combines creativity with respect for the natural environment. Treehouses are carefully designed to work with the trees that support them, allowing the structures to feel like an extension of the landscape. Prices can range from modest designs to elaborate builds, depending on size, complexity and location.
Today, Stiles Designs continues to inspire clients with unique structures that serve as both play spaces and peaceful retreats. Whether built for children, families or even adults seeking a quiet sanctuary, their treehouses remain a testament to the power of imagination and thoughtful design rooted in nature.
