Sleeping in trees

So when was the last time you spent the night in a treehouse? The swedish so called Treehotel was designed and built by a group of designers and architects whose primary goal was to allow visitors to live in harmony with nature. The hotel is located in the village of Harads, 60 km south of the Arctic Circle.
Its rooms are located in the middle of the forest and are all designed differently.
The presumably most impressive room is the “Mirror Cube”: a lightweight aluminium structure which is hung around a tree trunk. The box is clad in mirrored glass so it reflects the surrounding forest and the sky.

The “Bird’s Nest”, which is yet another room, was built to resemble a bird’s nest and is covered with branches from the outside. The inside, however boasts a high-end room in modern design.
