Two entrepreneurs Kent Lindvall and Britta Jonsson - Lindvall have decided to fulfill their dream and build a tree house - the concept that allows a man to live in harmony with the wild. In cooperation with well-known architects and designers they turned the idea into reality. A series of unique hotel rooms harmonized with the wild and eco-friendly qualities have been created. The hotel is located in Harads, in one of the most beautiful parts of Sweden - the pearl of Swedish forests. The hotel is composed by a number of separated rooms, each room has a different shape and functions. “Mirrocube” room, for exemple, by architects Bolla Thama and Martin Videgård is a double room constructed from light aluminium structure hung around a tree trunk. Its dimensions are 4×4x4m and the entire construction is covered by mirror glass that reflects surroundings and creates a camouflaged hide. Another type of room is the “Cabin” by architecture company Cyrene & Cyrene. The designers have dealt with a high ground and a steep slope providing a beautiful view at the valley of the river Luleå. The Cabin is hung on trees and its form conforms to the surroundings. The tree hotel offers a number of interesting rooms as the “Nest”, “Blue Cone” or even the “UFO” room. Very unique is the sauna suspended in the height among the trees.
