Foster Huntington built the Cinder Cone Treehouse in Skamania County on the Columbia River Gorge

Recruited a small group of friends, including his carpenter mother, to help build from summer through winter 2014 

Made up of two 200 sq ft structures - one is a guesthouse/studio and the other is Huntington's living space

Huntington decided he needed a home base after living in a van the last three years to surf, camp and photograph

Three years after quitting his job in New York to move into a van and surf and camp around the West Coast, one popular blogger and photographer decided he was ready for a home base.

But not just any apartment or condo would do for Foster Huntington. Instead he decided to build an incredible treehouse, complete with a bonafide skatepark and a wood-burning hot tub, in Skamania County, Washington.

Huntington began drawing the plans for the Cinder Cone Treehouse last spring of 2014, breaking ground on property that's been in his family for 20 years in the Columbia River Gorge.

Huntington began drawing the plans for the Cinder Cone Treehouse last spring of 2014, breaking ground on property that's been in his family for 20 years, picking the perfect spot between two douglas fir trees on a hill with the best view 

Hungtington's team work on the skate bowl one early morning. Huntington said many of his friends, some with professional carpentry experience and others who 'learned on the go', stopped by to work and stay on the property as it was built in 2014 

With the help of a small group of close friends, as well as his carpenter mother, Huntington began building in June and worked through the winter.

'Friends old and new stopped by to work and stay on the property,' he wrote on his Kickstarter. 'Some of us worked as carpenters professionally, others learned on the go.' 

Huntington, who paid his friends for their work, said a treehouse was a 'good evolution' after he spent years enjoying life in the small space of his camper, he told Mpora. 

The perfect spot was between a row of Douglas fir trees, situated on a hill that Huntington said had the best view, for the project that he estimated cost around $170,000.

The treehouse is actually made up of two 200 sq ft structures that are connected by a 25ft bridge

'I feel like it's important to live in a place that's really inspiring to live and in this day and age of the internet you can kind of work from wherever,' he said. 

The treehouse is made up of two 200 sq ft structures, connected by a 25ft bridge, Huntington told Outside Magazine. 

One acts as a workshop and guesthouse while the other, an octagonal cabin with bunk beds, is Huntington's living space

And have no fear, Huntington said he still has Wi-Fi and 4G internet - even up in the trees.

'That’s all I need to make a living,' he told Mpora. 'So I could be here or I could be in Manhattan and it’s way cheaper to do what I’m doing here.

'I feel like it's important to live in a place that's really inspiring to live', Huntington said. 'And in this day and age of the internet you can kind of work from wherever' 

Huntington found his way to New York City after graduation, catching the eye of a big design firm thanks to a blog he created while bored in college that was called A Restless Transplant.

He soon realized he wasn't satisfied being 'inside an office building working 70 hours a week in my early twenties' for a corporation, he told Vice. 

That's when he created another photo blog, dubbed The Burning House. It would be his ticket to life on the road after publisher HarperCollins gave him a book advance, which he used to buy a Volkswagen van. 

'Moving into a van, I only had space for the stuff that I needed, for the s*** that I really wanted to do,' Huntington said.

Huntington said he wanted his new home to be a place where his friends would want to come and hang out and work on their own projects

Huntington's best friend, carpenter Tucker Gorman, works on the studio's platform early on in the treehouse's building stage 

'Treehouses are the same. This is small, like 200 square feet. So it forces you to be a lot more specific about the stuff you have.' 

Huntington documented the building of the Cinder Cone Treehouse for a Vimeo video and is now raising money on Kickstarter for a book detailing how he and his friends pulled it off. 

'My goal is to make something that shows the process from dreaming up a seemingly outlandish idea to the final result after thousands of hours of hard work and the moments that happened in between,' he writes on the fundraising site. 

'I hope that the result ignites the imagination of people’s inner kid, and gets ideas going for their own projects.'
