O2 Treehouse Commercial Inc ("O2 Treehouse", “O2T”) builds intoxicating treehouses that bring people back to nature in unique and beautiful ways. We’ve built over 85 treehouses that have been featured by too many TV shows and news outlets to count! We’ve seen a tremendous amount of support for our beautiful creations — that’s why we’ve decided to find additional ways to scale our growth and connect more people with nature.

The company was originally founded as an LLC focused on the build and design of treehouses. In 2019 O2 Treehouse LLC was sold to O2 Treehouse Commercial Inc, which is now looking to expand the business line and launch into the hospitality market with the Treewalkers brand. As of September 2020, we have begun construction of the first Treewalkers destination, started building our team, including a strong and diverse advisory board, and lined up numerous potential locations. We are poised to expand into the hospitality market and capitalize on the ecotourism and home-sharing markets with the Treewalkers franchise network. Take a virtual tour of one of our future designs below!

In the long term, we have plans to develop corporate-owned residential housing developments.

In our lives and work, we have witnessed today’s world to be singularly isolating. We see more people finding themselves disconnected — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — seemingly than at any other time in history.

O2T knows that many struggle to forge this lost relationship with the natural world during their busy day to day lives, and therefore, people turn to travel to reignite this sense of connection. The ecotourism industry, often a solution for those looking to renew their sense of connection with nature, was valued at $265B worldwide in 2018 and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 14%.

We believe this increase in demand for ecotourism generates a need — Treehouses — as a perfect means for people to reconnect with the natural world. However, the economics and practicalities of treehouse ownership are naturally limiting. 

O2 Treehouse builds exhilarating feats of architecture with the express purpose of reigniting the lost relationship between humans and nature. Our houses have been customized for each of our customers and are entirely modular to provide even more unique experiences.

Moving forward, we believe that Treehouse rental through franchised, modular structures is the solution allowing popular access to these elevated experiences. The Treewalkers franchise allows people to easily create treehouses for rent — from a single unit to an entire treehouse village. Treewalkers does it all. Our modular design provides everything for the nature host to have beautiful glamping treehouses designed for the modern ecotourist using our state of the art technology.

While the home improvement industry grows at over 5% per year, homeowners are placing an increased emphasis on engineering wellness into their homes. We’ve already designed and built 85 custom treehouses that serve this category.

For the ecotourism industry, which was valued at $265B worldwide in 2018 and projected to grow at 14% per year, we believe we offer the ideal product for both potential franchisees looking for a unique opportunity to invest, and for consumers looking for a chance to get away from their fast-paced, concrete-filled life, and enter a more tranquil and beautiful world.

Furthermore, short-term lodging demand and home-sharing services are taking up ever more market share, reaching $23B in 2018. This is a great sign for both our treehouse owners and franchisees which can capitalize on the ecotourism trend by renting out their structures.

We believe the existing reputation and recognition of O2T together with the potential reach of Treewalkers can make a serious dent on this $265B worldwide industry.

To date, O2T has designed, structured and built over 85 custom treehouses for customers throughout the United States. Additionally, O2T has a current backlog of over $1.8 million in custom treehouse contracts (60% in the initial design phase, and 40% under construction) for clients throughout the midwest and western US.

O2T closely tracks our custom treehouses from the perspective of their rental and lease. For those treehouses available for rent, we have seen a 70% occupancy rate with average customer/consumer reviews of 4.68 stars out of 5. 

Additionally not only do people want to get away, but home improvement spending has grown remarkably since the beginning of the pandemic. Our beautiful treehouses couldn’t be a more perfect location to do just that.

Treehouses are no easy feat. In the past, we worked diligently to find the perfect location, tree, and structural design. With this, we created some of the most beautiful treehouses the world has ever seen.

However, after dozens of builds, our founder Dustin realized he could create an entirely new foundation platform for a treehouse to produce an engineered one-size-fits-all design that can be modified based upon the unique install location: The Tetratruss. Our technology finally allows for the wider evolution of treehouses by creating the possibility for lower-cost units. We’ve also developed technology to expand on a tree’s real estate, creating elevated platforms that fit into the natural location.

Current Revenue Stream:  Each of our custom treehouses generates anywhere from $30k to $500k in revenue depending on the project. With our costs ranging from $15k to $250k, we are able to recognize a gross profit from each build. We’ve mastered the build of luxury treehouses and are constantly finding ways to reduce our costs with state of the art technology and materials.

Future Revenue Stream:  With our future Treewalkers franchise, we will generate additional revenue with our franchise fee and income expense. Franchise owners will be able to finance the build of a Treewalkers location — giving them access to a property that can generate passive rental income. For us, the cost of the build will be covered and we will then generate revenue by charging an annual royalty fee.

We foresee there being two main stages to establish this franchise. These stages refer to our current plans in development for the future and may be subject to change:

• Initial Stage: Although we do not have an existing network of franchisees, we plan to establish this network early on by waiving the initial franchise fee and using AirBnB as the renting platform — allowing us to more easily build the first 15 locations.

• Growth Stage: With a more established network and proven results, we will then enable our franchise revenue model. We will also release an O2 Treehouse renting platform for exclusive access to these beautiful locations.

The offering materials may contain forward-looking statements and information relating to, among other things, the company, its business plan and strategy, and its industry. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of, assumptions made by, and information currently available to the company's management.

We believe our unique vision and creative spirit truly set us apart. Another thing that gives us our edge is the fact that our years of experience have prepared us to solve design challenges in ingenious ways that our less experienced competitors cannot.

We’ve also kept ahead of the game through our ever-advancing design strategies, like the Tetratruss, the modular treehouse foundational design system that both the Treewalkers Glamping Platform and the Equilibrium home are based upon.

But most of all, after more than a decade building custom treehouses, we’ve built a trusted brand that has found respect throughout the treehouse community.

Our next focus for our company includes our plan to launch into the hospitality market and capitalize on the ecotourism and home-sharing markets with the Treewalkers franchise network, as well as to continue our core competency of building the best treehouses in the world using the same modular building system.

In the long term we have plans to develop corporate-owned residential housing developments using the Equilibrium Home System. These will be situated on large 100-200 acre parcels of land and focus on establishing co-housing communities based on the same modular building system as the Treewalkers platform and are in the development stage.

O2 Treehouse was born in 2006 when Dustin Feider built his first geodesic structure 50 feet up in a Poplar tree in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. He continued with O2 Treehouse to inspire people to reconsider how we can coexist more harmoniously with nature. He is now world-renowned for his designs — his work has appeared in over 100 design publications — and he has become a sought after personality for media appearances due to his depth of knowledge and obvious love of his work. 

Joining Dustin on the O2 team is Do Lab vet JP Chapman (known as O2T’s MacGyver), Tesla alum and numbers whiz Kendrick Calkins (Administrative Lead and Project Manager), and a handful of other creative types and nature lovers devoted to the craft.

People are more and more interested in integrating the wellness-enhancing effects of the natural world into their everyday lives. O2T brings together this desire with a confluence of market forces in home-sharing and ecotourism to forge the way forward.

With our decades of experience building some of the most beautiful homes in nature, we have developed the technologies and know-how to truly make O2T a revolution.

We envision a future in which our treehouses are widespread — providing a place for people to get back and find a peaceful retreat in this increasingly busy world. With our franchise model, we have a plan to bring our treehouses to the world.

All these years our mission has remained the same: Bring this increasingly virtual, disconnected world back to nature, one treehouse and one unforgettable experience at a time.
