We're huge fans of Sweden's stunning Treehotel ^[6], so we were excited to hear that now you no longer need to travel to the Arctic Circle to experience it - you can mail-order the Swedish hotel's most stunning room -- the Mirrorcube -- and have it built on your own piece of land! The sparkling cubic treehouse ^[7] designed by Bolle Tham and Martin Videgård will reflect all its surroundings - where you set it high up in a tree or in a corner of your backyard.

The Mirrorcube can be delivered as a kit to just about any location in the world in about four months. If you’re lacking in DIY carpentry skills then you’re in luck – the Treehotel ^[6] offers options for construction and installment.

An original idea for an enchanting treehouse, the Treehotel ^[6]‘s Mirrorcube is a magical retreat set high up in nature. Made mostly of wood and recyclable aluminum, it comes with under-floor electric heating ^[8], lights, furniture and a water-efficient toilet space. And don’t worry about distracted birds flying into your mirror-walled-space – each unit is wrapped in an infrared ^[9] film that is invisible to humans.
