Alex Shirley-Smith

Architect and Treehouse Designer

<p class="p1">I am an architect, husband, and father of 2 girls under 2. &nbsp;Having been brought up in London, UK, I have been fortunate enough to have had a life long dream that I am now lucky enough to be fulfilling; to design and build treehouses.</p> <p class="p1">Alongside bespoke treehouse projects, I have invented Tentsile; the world's first portable treehouse. &nbsp;The main drivers for this endeavour included the desire to bring the joy of treehouses to children in urban environments, kids who probably don't have a tree in their back yard. &nbsp;This design can be set up between buildings, garages, posts and will soon have a q self-supporting stand so that it can be deployed for use as a humanitarian relief shelter.</p> <p class="p1">Tentsile combines the versatility of a hammock with the comfort and security of a tent. &nbsp;As the unit is suspended, ground condition do not effect the tent's ability to be be set up in any situation or environment.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
