The Scandanavian Treehotel offers visitors the opportunity to spend the night in a luxurious treehouse room. Each of the 6 unique treehouses was the inspired creation of a different guest architect, but all of them honor their surroundings and is kitted out with a state-of-the-art eco-friendly incineration toilet, a water-efficient hand basin, and underfloor heating.
This precariously balanced treehouse is the innovative design of Amsterdam-based installation artist, Leonard van Munste. Sitting atop the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art, the design, dubbed Under Heaven, is entirely built using old fruit and vegetable crates. The rickety treehouse may not seem like the most sturdy design, but it looks brilliant amidst its urban surroundings and is sure to offer incredible views of the city below.
A translucent geodesic sphere, the O2 Sustainability treehouse by Dustin Fieder was inspired by a simple Japanese paper lantern. Illuminated at night, the construction is suspended using a steel cable support system and built with 100% sustainable materials of either recycled soda bottles or 3Form Ecoresin. The design is respectful to the tree itself and uses no nails or bolts, and can be ordered as a self-installing kit.
