Studio BIG, a Danish architecture firm, unveiled its design for a hotel room in the Treehotel in Sweden, called Biosphere. Biosphere is a hotel room wrapped with birdhouses. It will become the eighth room at the hotel.
Treehotel is located in a remote forest in Swedish Lapland. Biosphere will be suspended above the ground and accessed via a bridge. The studio clad the hotel room in 350 birdhouses according to its unveiled designs. The room aims to inspire visitors to install birdhouses at their homes after experiencing up-close birdwatching. In addition, the choice to use birdhouses was deliberate; the architecture studio aims to draw awareness at the decreasing bird population in the Swedish woods while increasing bird-friendly structures in the area.
