Gallery: Stunning Swedish Treehotel Op...
The Bird's Nest was designed by Inredningsgruppen and resembles -- what else -- a bird's nest.
A lofty project in terms of both architecture and altitude, the Treehotel opens this Saturday, July 17th. So far, the hotel consists of four rooms, each located in a separate building suspended in the canopy of the lush and pristine Boreal forest. The four units that will be ready this weekend are the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest and the Mirrorcube, each designed by a different architect to be completely unique. The owners of the hotel have plans for a total of 24 rooms designed by 24 architects within five years time. Two more rooms – the UFO and the Room With a View, will be completed this October before darkness descends for the winter season.
The Mirrorcube is a prefabricated cube accessed via a ladder that runs straight up from the ground into the heart of the unit. As one might suspect from the name, the Mirrorcube is completely encased in mirrored walls that reflect the surrounding forest, allowing the structure to blend into the environment.

[...] here’s something that you definitely haven’t checked out yet — this gorgeous mirror-walled treehouse hotel just opened in Sweden, and is now accepting reservations! So if you feel like the Eiffel Tower and [...]
Must be tough keeping all of those mirror walls see through clean!
It may be difficult to clean the mirrors but reflections counter the maintenance problems. This design is in the positive when weighing it\’s pros and cons. The \”cons\” that worry me is birds flying into it and breaking their necks.
How many birds does this thing kill per hour?
A better device for killing the birds of the forest has yet to be invented – good work visionaries! Does the cost of room and board include the morning feathered corpse walk to admire how this piece of industrial garbage has \”blended into the environment\”?
Birds will be killed hitting into these monstrosities.
Looks beautiful!

5 star treehouse – different class!
I htink this tree house sticks out like a sore thumb. Although I still like it. I wouldn’t personally visit this tree house myself though. But if I wanted to buy a gift for someone in a romantic setting I’d probably go for a more natural looking tree house such as this one….

it’s when there is an L shaped CLEAR glass window — one stretch of window continuing around the corne — with a continuous inside outside sill and no visible, vertical support crossing the glass — thats when birds get slammed — here, they will likely see things better and especially if the feeder or any other artifacts of birdyville birdyness are in the right place(s) — after all, when you’re seeing things and find you are, and you obviously have, maybe your heart should be in the right place
enjoy yer trip, see you next fall
