Looking to perch yourself above ground and really commune with nature? Treehotel is branching out and now offers rather posh mirrored prefab cube abodes ready for tree-mounting. Designed by Scandinavian architects, Bolle Tham and Martin Videgård, as a turnkey solution, Treehotel handles construction, transportation and installation at your tree-loving location of choice.

A simple yet luxurious eco-friendly hideaway, exterior walls are made from reflective “spyglass” whereby infrared film placed within the glass makes Mirrorcube visible to birds and other animals. The film is invisible to humans. Interior walls are wood with windows allowing natural light, warmth and vistas; ladder leads to rooftop terrace, your personal stairway to heaven.

The centerpiece of the space is the living tree, hug it at your leisure; built-in queen size bed and ash ladder come with the space, as do all lighting fixtures and furnishings. Electricity is required for heating, lighting and freeze-toilet; and if installed in winter clime, snow removal from roof and terrace is required … for details and prices, contact Treehotel directly via mirrorcube.se.
