  • Treehotel Cabin
    Back in the summer we told you about <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/07/13/stunning-swedish-treehotel-opens-this-weekend/" target="_blank">Sweden's amazing Treehotel</a>, which features an incredible <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/07/13/stunning-swedish-treehotel-opens-this-weekend/mirrorcube-ed02/?extend=1" target="_blank">Mirrorcube</a> cabin in addition to several other prefab treehouses situated high up in the branches. The hotel has since opened, and we have a brand new set of photos that offer a look inside each of the completed rooms. We're blown away by these amazing structures based on the photos alone, and we're simply in awe of the beautiful views these <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/06/form-and-forest-prefab-flat-pack-cabins/" target="_blank">prefab cabins</a> provide of the surrounding forest. How much do flights to Sweden cost these days?
    1
  • Treehotel Mirrorcube
    The Treehotel opened mid-July and includes four rooms: the Mirrorcube, Bluecone, Birdsnest, and the Cabin, along with a sauna.
    2
  • Treehotel Bluecone
    Each room was designed and prefabricated by a different architect and then installed high up in the trees.
    3
  • Treehotel Cabin
    The concept of the hotel was to provide a beautiful place to get away from the stress of life and live in harmony with nature.
    4
  • Treehotel Mirrorcube
    The Mirrorcube was designed by Tham &amp; Videgård architects and includes a double bed. The "cabin" can be accessed from the ground via ramp.
    5
  • Treehotel Mirrorcube
    The 4x4x4 meter box is made of lightweight aluminum and hung around a tree trunk. The box is clad in mirrored glass to reflect the surrounding forest.
    6
  • Treehotel Mirrorcube
    The Mirrorcube has been coated with an infrared film to prevent birds from flying into it.
    7
  • Treehotel Mirrorcube
    Even at night, the Mirrorcube blends in seamlessly with the surrounding forest, reflecting the nighttime sky and the silhouettes of the trees.
    8
  • Treehotel Mirrorcube
    Inside the cube, the interior is constructed from plywood and the windows provide a 360 degree view of the surroundings.
    9
  • Treehotel Mirrorcube
    The room includes a double bed, bath, a living room and roof terrace.
    10
  • Treehotel Cabin
    The Cabin was designed by Cyrén &amp; Cyrén and was entirely prefabricated offsite, trucked in and raised into the trees.
    11
  • Treehotel Cabin
    Access to the Cabin is provided by a very tall ramp and deck situated above the cabin. Inside the room has a double bed and bathroom.
    12
  • Treehotel Bluecone
    The Bluecone was designed by Sandell Sandberg and includes a double bed on the first level and two single beds on the second.
    13
  • Treehotel Bluecone
    This Red Cabin is constructed completely from wood and is supported on three points by surrounding trees accessed via ramp.
    14
  • Treehotel Bluecone
    A lightweight façade of split birch shingles helps this simple design hang in the trees.
    15
  • Treehotel Birdsnest
    The Birdsnest was designed by Inredningsgruppen and is covered completely in a nest of branches and twigs.
    16
  • Treehotel Birdsnest
    Exactly like a bird's nest, this crazy room is hung high in the trees and it looks like a tangled web of wood.
    17
  • Treehotel Birdsnest
    Access to the Birds Nest is provided through a sturdy and retractable staircase from below.
    18
  • Treehotel Birdsnest
    Inside, the Birdsnest has one double bed and two single beds.
    19
  • Treehotel TreeSauna
    Finally the TreeSauna was designed by Inredningsgruppen/Bertil Harström and provides a place for visitors of the hotel to gather and relax.
    20
  • Treehotel TreeSauna
    The sauna will soon be joined by a hotel conference room.
