BIG revealed the design for a treetop hotel room wrapped in 350 bird houses created for the Treehotel in Lapland, Sweden. Designed in collaboration with ornithologist Ulf Ohman, the 34 square-metre Biosphere room seeks to enhance the surrounding biosphere by providing a habitat for local birds while allowing guests to be immersed in the surrounding forest. The project is the latest addition to the hotel’s series of individually designed rooms created by some of Scandinavia’s most renowned architects, such as Snøhetta, Rintala Eggerstsson, and Tham & Videgard.
