In Swedish Lapland, in the forest thicket where the eco-hotel Treehotel is located, a very strange room will soon appear. If you look at it from afar, it seems that it is a huge round cone hanging among the centuries-old pines. In fact, this is a bizarre number, more precisely, a tree house, on which 350 birdhouses are installed at once, where birds will definitely settle. As it turned out, more than a strange design was conceived for a reason, the organizers of the hotel decided in this way to convey to their guests a very real idea.
The well-known Danish architectural company Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), which has repeatedly surprised with its fantastic design, has presented a new project developed for the Swedish eco-hotel Treehotel. It became one of the most bizarre tree houses that have ever been created or designed. The eighth hotel room, dubbed the Biosphere, is already one of the most unusual creations of the BIG creative team in recent times.
If you look at it from afar, it will seem like a giant dandelion hovering above the ground, or a round cone hanging between tall pines. In fact, the square facade of the house is decorated with 350 wooden birdhouses, which are located a little at a distance, which is why the impression of a ball is created.
Despite the fact that "Biosphere" looks like one of those projects that will remain on paper, nevertheless it will indeed be implemented for the famous Treehotel, which has already been described on the pages Novate.ru.
Recall: The eco-friendly Treehotel, which boasts extraordinary treehouse-style rooms, is located in the deep forest of Swedish Lapland, close to the Arctic Circle. The seven rooms that have already been created and are actively hosting guests have been designed by renowned Scandinavian architects such as Snöhetta and Tham & Videgård. The expected contribution of the Danes from the studio BIG in the form of a visual aid on how to protect nature and to participate in the preservation and increase of the bird population to the extent possible, was agreed with the organizers Treehotel. It is worth noting that the Swedish ornithologist Ulf Oman acted as a consultant in the design process.
Bjarke Ingels, the founder and ideological inspirer of the BIG studio, admits that such a strange idea arose after he spent several days and nights in one of the Treehotel rooms. After a memorable rest, he couldn't help but wonder: “Is there a way to make the immersion in nature even deeper and more impressive?” After consulting with specialists, it occurred to him that it is possible to create a room surrounded by flocks of birds and even bats, in which every vacationer will feel that he is an integral part of the ecosystem of our planets.
Given that the project is only going to be implemented, we can only enjoy the 3D visualization of the exterior and interior of the treehouse. As previously reported, the square structure, part of the walls, ceiling and floor of which are made of tinted three-chamber glass, will be surrounded by more than three hundred wooden birdhouses for different types of birds. Since this is still a tree house, they plan to install it between two pine trees high above the ground. You can get into this extraordinary bird world via a suspension bridge, which offers an excellent view of the pristine forest.

The two-level house is quite spacious, as for such a structure - 34 sq. meters. The interior will please you with tasteful dark shades and functional furniture, which will help save space. On the lower level, guests can relax on a soft sofa or in a hammock chair, enjoying the bright greenery of the treetops and the constant movement of birds. In between observations of the life of birds, guests will be able to cook their own lunch or dinner in the kitchenette, for which there is a small area, but quite equipped.
But you can relax in the bathroom to the singing of birds, feeling like in their flock, because the ceiling above it and part of the wall are completely transparent. However, as in other areas, therefore, you can see what is happening from the outside in every corner of the fancy room. For this reason, in the bedroom, located on the second level, you can not expect to sleep until dinner, bird "talks" will quickly bring back to normal even those who are very difficult to wake up.
Well, at the expense of the cleanliness of large-scale windows located behind the bird settlement (from the outside), neither the organizers nor the guests should worry. According to the Chief Ornithologist of Norrbotten County, the birds are very neat creatures, where they nest and feed - always clean.
Interesting fact: It is expected that the construction of the Biosphere will be completed by the beginning of the summer season. The room will be available for booking in advance, the estimated cost of the stay is 1.26 thousand rubles. US dollars. The price includes daily accommodation for two people and breakfast in the room.
The remaining 7 rooms of the eco-hotel Treehotel, which again welcomes guests (after the restrictions associated with the pandemic), can also please lovers of secluded relaxation with maximum interaction with nature and modern comfort.
