”I got to spend a few days and nights in some of the Treehotels rooms right before the pandemic, and left with a sense of rejuvenation from complete immersion into nature. I couldn’t help wondering if there was a way to take the immersion one step further – and almost instantly the idea of inviting not only the human visitors but also the resident bird and bat population to cohabit a spherical swarm of nests came to life.

We designed our addition to Treehotel – Biosphere - to create a unique experience for hotel guests, which takes inspiration from the qualities of the surrounding forest and absorb them into the interior. The ecological response is the driver behind the architectural expression, helping to create a positive environmental impact.”
