It’s unlikely you don’t like a house made from wood species, so here is another project in wood. Share spaces. Create memories.

Tree Hotel x Tham & Videgard Arkitekter click for full SPREAD.
A tree hotel in the far north of Sweden, near the small village of Harads, close to the polar circle in which you may encounter polar bears. Just kidding.
About the program:
- If you looking for shelter from polar bears while your in Sweden go up in the trees; a lightweight aluminum structure hung around a tree trunk, a 4x4x4 meters box clad in mirrored glass. The exterior reflects the surroundings and the sky, creating a camouflaged refuge. The interior is all made of plywood and the windows give a 360 degree view of the surroundings.
- The construction also alludes to how man relates to nature, how we use high tech materials and products when exploring remote places in harsh climates (Gore-tex, Kevlar, composite materials, light weight tents etc). Which means it has a smart design with a good use cool materials! What a place to create memoirs, I mean memories eh?
Is that your building, or are you just happy to see us? More on Great Spaces: http://on.fb.me/nC0MrE
