tree hotel · N^o459

Another structure we'd love to spend a night or two in...

This "Tree Hotel" in Northern Sweden is the brain child of designers Tham + Videgard Hansson Arkitekter, who have given the following info. on the project, which was recently completed:

The concept is to create a shelter up in the trees, a lightweight aluminium structure hung around a tree trunk, boxes clad in mirrored glass, 4x4x4 meters. The exterior reflects the surroundings and the sky, creating a camouflaged refuge. The interior is all made of plywood and the windows give a 360 degree view.

The functions provides a living for two people, a double bed, a small kitchen and bathroom, a living room and roof terrace. The access to the cabin is by a rope ladder or a rope bridge.

To prevent birds fly into the windows, transparent stickers, visible for birds, will be added to the facades.
