We all dreamed about them when we were kids or even we had one, of course, on a much smaller scale. For children, treehouses are the perfect retreat from a world they sometimes do not understand or seems hostile to them, it is their best kept secret. Now that we are adults, we find the child within us again by looking at these splendid images emanating the idea of absolute freedom that we all crave for. The treehouses have in time gone beyond the classic design of a wooden box, becoming more sophisticated, especially since some serve as summer houses and even hotels.<\/p>\n
The first two images depict two such houses in Sweden, with a totally different design from each other. The first one, suggestively called “The Mirrorcube” has walls made entirely of large pieces of reflective glass and therefore perfectly fits the surrounding nature. Although initially ornithologists warned that birds might hit the mirror walls, the architects explained that the exterior walls are covered in infrared film that birds can detect, unlike humans. This treehouse, located somewhere in northern Scandinavia, serves as a hotel.<\/p>\n
