Originally created to host events for the nonprofit Congenital Anaemia Network, this magical treehouse brings to life the world of C.S. Lewis with the help of Dr. Yaz Romahi, the creative genius behind the project.
The treehouse features a beaver's den, Mr. Tumnus's house, sits on 12 acres, and features a wardrobe door that transports visitors into the woodlands of Headington, Oxfordshire, where C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles of Narnia.
Dr. Romahi said of the project,
C.S Lewis's old house and garden is actually two doors down - so we share the same woodland. It is an homage to C.S Lewis and the Narnia series and we integrated the theme. I am a member of the Magic Circle and I am an engineer so I built all the magic props - the kids love the fantasy so it was a labour of love.
Some of the magic props include a magic mirror featuring the White Queen (with the face of Romahi's daughter), who with the help of generative AI replies to any question in verse, and lights that turn on when you place a special ring next to a copy of The Lord of the Rings.
Romahi went on to say of the treehouse,
The adults feel like they are re-living their childhood and their children are enjoying their space - and that obviously gives us the satisfaction
While the treehouse is 6 years old, it has only been used for charity events in the past. Recently, however, to raise more funds for the Congenital Anaemia Network, they've expanded with two buildings available for short-term rentals, The Cedar Hollow Treehouse which sleeps up to 6, and The Faun's Hideaway which sleeps 2.
Time to plan a trip to Oxford! It's for a good cause!
