Treehotel

Satisfy the boy's dream inside you. How about complete isolation, in a near zero-emission resort, in rooms designed by Scandanavia’s leading architects? “Treehotel offers a unique hotel experience: treerooms with contemporary design in the middle of unspoiled nature,” say the creators. “Here you can forget about the time constraints of everyday life, enjoy the serenity, and rejuvenate in a sophisticated yet familiar environment.”




The hotel has a total of 24 rooms with five unique designs, all of which complement their natural surroundings in very different ways.













The Mirrorcube is the first and arguably most striking of the five designs. Hidden deep in the forest and camouflaged by mirrored walls that reflect the surroundings, the room is built around a tree trunk and is supported by an aluminium frame covered with reflective glass.







If the other rooms try to integrate with their natural surroundings, the UFO aims to stand out from the crowd. Thirty square metres of cosy interior covered by durable composite metal, the UFO provides plenty of living space and extra modern furnishings in its hull.









The Bird’s Nest is a room of contrasts: from outside, a stack of twigs, bleak and uncompromising. The interior, however, is familiar and warm with space for two adults and two children.









The Cabin was developed to exhibit the best views over the Lule River Valley. The roof terrace also means you can eat your dinner under the Northern Lights.









The ironically-titled Blue Cone (it’s red) is the quintessence of simplicity and accessibility. The room is a traditional wooden structure with three foundations in the ground to give a sense of height and lightness, but also stability.


No Scandinavian hot spot would be complete without a Scandinavian hot spot, so Tree Sauna is the perfect way to sweat those metropolitan worries away.

Coolest Bridge Ever!

Some people are searching new type of bridges to cross river Seine. This is a conceptual trampoline bridge designed by Atelier Zündel Cristea. It consists of tubular inflatable walls with a series of giant trampolines strung between them so you can jump your way across the river.  The bridge is set to be located strategically in relation to the Eiffel Tower, so as to provide users with a unique view of the city. 
Seriously now. Make it happen!

21 swings

Every spring, an interactive installation takes over a high-traffic area in Montréal’s Quartier des spectacles and sets a collective ritual. The installation offers a fresh look at the idea of cooperation, the notion that we can achieve more together than alone. The result is a giant instrument made of 21 musical swings; each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation. A project that has been travelling in many locations, bringing people together to make music with their entire body.
