The Treehotel is branching out with a new room. The latest installments are covered in 350 bird boxes to increase the local bird population and create an interesting alarm clock for guests.
The eighth room at the unconventional hotel is a spaceship-style suite with Lego-like structures and glass cubes.
The Treehotel is located just outside the village of Harads in Swedish Lappland and is an hour's drive from Lule airport. The Lindvalls collaborated with designers and architects to create rooms that were far from your average lodgings. Have you ever been in a flying saucer hovering over the trees? No? How about a floating cabin or a giant bird's nest?
You can feel like a kid in a tree house.
The newest room is called Biosphere. The space was created by the Bjarke Ingels Group, who collaborated with local bird experts on the design.
The facade of 350 bird boxes is made of natural materials and varies in size to cater to all shapes and sizes of birds.
The aim of Biosphere is to decrease the downward spiral of the bird population in the Swedish woods and instead strengthen the biosphere and natural habitat.
Europe's most amazing tree house stays for families.
The bridge connecting the forest floor to the treetop entrance leads to the room. It is a small space that is designed in such a way that light can enter from all angles to maintain the outside views with triple-glazed, full-height windows, as well as glazed ceilings and floors. There is a wraparound rooftop terrace that gives visitors a panoramic view of the forest.
The Swedish ornithologist hopes that Treehotel's initiative may inspire people to install their own bird boxes to help their local bird populations, which are declining due to climate change and deforestation.
The Biosphere is scheduled to open in May. Breakfast is included in the prices for two guests.
