Tree Hotel

By Roni Brunn | July 22, 2010 | News


The new Tree Hotel in Harads, Sweden consists of six structures made by five different architects.  Super good.

I love the Swedish interpretation of country style.  This structure is called the Mirrorcube:

This is the Mirrorcube’s interior:

Here’s the bird’s nest room:
