This isn't Your Childhood Treehouse

http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/ ... hotel.html

the 'treehotel' is set to open this weekend. located in harads, sweden about 60 km south
of the arctic circle - currently consisting of four rooms: the cabin, the blue cone, the nest
and the mirrorcube. the project was conceived by tree hotel co-founder kent lindvall,
a former guidance counselor who came up with the concept with his wife britta

the 'mirrorcube', designed by tham & videgard architects stands four meters high
and four meters wide, and has drawn widespread attention as it will be attached to a single
tree and is clad entirely in mirrored glass.

'everything will reflect in this - the trees, the birds, the clouds, the sun, everything.
so it should be invisible nearly in the forest.' - kent lindvall

each of the rooms, vary in size from 15 to 30 square metres and are positioned in pine trees
between four and six metres from the ground. they have all been constructed from wood
and glass and feature an electric floor heating system, a state-of-the-art eco-friendly
incineration toilet and a water-efficient hand basin.

lindvall says a special film will be applied to the glass which will be visible to birds. this is just
one of the steps being taken to minimize treehotel's impact on local wildlife says anette selberg,
who is in charge of crafting an excursion program for guests.

Look's pretty cool, I had a treehouse like this back in the day.

covered in mirrors with electricity and carpeted?

No, up in the trees, secluded from the world where he could wallow in self loathing.

That looks pretty cool. Would love to hang out there.
