Attention bird lovers and tree house aficionados. This shelter lets you truly disappear into the forest.
The Bird鈥檚 Nest in northern Sweden is a one-of-a-kind structure. Supported 19 feet above the forest floor by three spruce trees, it鈥檚 like a bird house built by some prehistoric flying giant.
The 12-foot-high hideaway鈥攁ccessed via a retractable metal staircase鈥攊s completely encased in sticks and twigs. And although it might look small, the 55-square-foot circular nest has enough beds to accommodate a family of four (as long as the kids aren鈥檛 too rowdy or too big). Stacked bunks curve around one section, while another houses an adult-size bedroom, complete with a concave fireplace. There鈥檚 even a small bath and eating area.
Bleached blonde wood lines the nest鈥檚 interior鈥攖here鈥檚 vertical paneling on the walls, knotty wood floors, and wooden bookcases in the main sleeping area. Cove lighting gives the circular retreat a warm glow, while windows (almost invisible from the outside) let in natural light. 聽聽
