About Irene & Noam

Treehouse Sanctuary was born from a mission to save a 100-year-old historic church from being lost forever. After standing abandoned for 20 years, Irene and Noam Krasniansky unfortunately fell in love with the building and became too passionate to walk away.

At times, it was hard to keep going—it seemed like we were the only ones who cared. An unknown couple from out of state, we walked right into a political mess with the city of St. Pete and neighbors. This building should never have been caught in the crosshairs of politics.

We haven't given up of this church.

The last 2 years have been sheer blood, sweat and tears.

Now we will rebuild the church, fix her failing floors, leaking roof and bring her community space back to life with more of that same grit.  

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way—with construction help, advice, legal expertise, and most importantly, friendship.
