The young boy, Ethan, was diagnosed with complex congenital heart disease and wished for a place that would double as a play area and space to work with his therapist. Liberty designed the treehouse with Ethan’s guidance – complete with a captain’s wheel, fisherman’s netting, a slide, a staircase to help with his activity restrictions, and a lookout where he can watch for incoming pirates. He has named it “The Wish Ship.”
