Is this amazing or what? You be the judge..... The four-meter glass cube looks as spectacular in reality as it did in the
rendering. Kent Lindvall, co-owner of the TreeHotel, has been quoted as
saying: Everything will reflect in this -- the trees, the birds, the
clouds, the sun, everything. So it should be invisible nearly in the
forest. And what about the birds? According to Designboom, Lindvall says that a
special film that is visible to birds will be applied to the glass. The units are constructed from sustainably harvested wood and have
electric radiant floor heating and "a state-of-the-art, eco-friendly,
incineration toilet" But other than that minor quibble, this appears to be a truly "eco"
resort. The owners say in Designboom: "This is untouched forest, and we want to maintain it the same way. We
decided, for example, to not offer snowmobile safari which is very common
up here," says Selberg. Instead, wilderness walks will be offered.
