Treehotel, The blue cone

The inspiration for Treehotel is taken from the movie “The Tree Lover” by Jonas Selberg Augustsén. A tale of three men from the city who rediscover their roots by building a tree house together. “The Tree Lover” is a philosophical story about the tree’s importance to our people, both historically and culturally.

The idea behind Treehotel is to offer a high-standard accommodation in a harmonious setting where daily stress quickly fades away and guests can enjoy the peace and purity of unspoiled nature.

Together with some of Scandinavia’s leading architects, five uniquely designed treerooms were created in Harads, approximately fifty kilometres outside the city of Luleå. The treerooms are located 4-6 meter above ground all with spectacular views of the Lule river.

A very important part of the concept is to make a minimal ecological footprint. Therefore, the hotel is built around the ecological values in which substantial resources have been devoted to finding sustainable construction and energy solutions.

The Blue Cone
The Blue cone is based on simplicity and accessibility, both in terms of materials and design. The room is a traditional wooden structure with three foundations in the ground, to give a sense of height and lightness, but also to create stability.

Guests enter the room via a bridge from the nearby mountainside. The bridge is well suited for people with disabilities. The exterior consists of laminated birch wood and the interior of timber.

The treeroom is 22 sqm and has four beds, separate sleeping loft, bathroom and lounge.
