Home Depot: Backyard Playground

Winner: Grand Marshal's Trophy
(Most creative concept and design)

Several years ago, John Daniels was approached by a potential client at a trade show to build 2 tree houses that were bridged together. John asked the customer to come back in 15 minutes to see a napkin sketch of what they were talking about. The customer loved the drawing, bought the tree house, and we filed the sketch away.

2 years later, a Rose Parade float designer (and customer of ours) was approached by The Home Depot to design a Rose Parade float. Upon hearing their design goals, she immediately thought of our tree houses. We met a few days later and looked over our past tree house concept sketches. Within a few moments she spotted that same 2 year old napkin sketch and knew that’s what The Home Depot wanted.

This has to be one of the most unique Tree Houses we have ever built
She reproduced the exact drawing, added some landscape and some colors and pitched it to The Home Depot. Without hesitation, they gave their approval. The final float won the Rose Parade’s Grand Marshall Trophy for the “Most Creative Design of the Year.” It’s interesting to know that the “most creative design” came from a whim and a napkin sketch during 15 short minutes of creativity from our founder, John Daniels.
