At the Tree Hotel in Sweden opens the «Biosphere» room made up entirely of birdhouses

We are not new to the astonishing “rooms” of the Tree Hotel in Sweden: designed by imaginative artists and architects they were able to predict the future in our ever stronger desire for immersion in nature. The more we lose woods the more we would like them, and if it will certainly not be a holiday to bring them back (but only a real life-changing action), the rooms that look like contemporary works of the Tree Hotel do what art does, create an image of beauty that remains in our memory, they pass a message.

Look closely at this room, a sphere, indeed a “Biosphere” ready to welcome its inhabitants, not just humans. If you see them one by one, the “cubes” that form it are many, hundreds, of birdhouses. 340 to be precise. But will the bird families of these sumptuous woods go to live there? And what will happen in the future coexistence? Will they all sing together for the guests every morning? There is a risk of waking up very early …

The “Biosphere” project is from Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and was created in close collaboration with the Swedish ornithologist Ulf Öhman with the intent to counter the downward spiral of the bird population in the Swedish forests and strengthen the biosphere and natural habitat.

Inside it offers 34 square meters of sustainable design and a dream room, suspended in the woods and protected from hundreds of birds with a “roof terrace” nestled among the trees. A design that with this eighth room of the famous hotel in the woods of Swedish Lapland becomes more and more experiential. For a new form of sharing.
