DESCRIPTION |

|
| The Concept |
|
|
|
 The inspiration for Treehotel is taken from the movie “The Tree Lover” by Jonas Selberg Augustsén. A tale of three men from the city who rediscover their roots by building a tree house together. “The Tree Lover” is a philosophical story about the tree’s importance to our people, both historically and culturally.
The idea behind Treehotel is to offer a high-standard accommodation in a harmonious setting where daily stress quickly fades away and guests can enjoy the peace and purity of unspoiled nature.
Together with some of Scandinavia’s leading architects, five uniquely designed treerooms were created in Harads, approximately fifty kilometres outside the city of Luleå. The treerooms are located 4-6 meter above ground, all with spectacular views of the Lule river.
A very important part of the concept is to make a minimal ecological footprint. Therefore, the hotel is built around the ecological values in which substantial resources have been devoted to finding sustainable construction and energy solutions. |

 The concept is based on the contrast between the indoors and outdoors. The exterior of the Bird’s nest nothing but, just that, a giant bird’s nest. It provides a camouflage allowing you to quickly disappear and become part of the surroundings.
The interior however, is familiar and exclusive. A spacious environment in which a family with two children can comfortably spread out. The walls are clad in wood paneling and windows disappear, almost, in the exterior’s network of branches. The room is 17 m2 and have separate bedrooms, bathroom and lounge. Guests enter with the help of a retractable stairway. |
