The idea of the Treehotel was born on a fly fishing trip to Russia. It started with a film that was made here in Harads village by a couple of guys from Stockholm.

The idea was to make a documentary about finding their roots and connecting with their childhood. The name of the film was Tree Lover because they really liked to stay up in trees and tell stories about them. In this film they built a tree house, and after the film was finished it was left empty, so we asked them to rent it out to us. That’s where the designer got the concept from.

“I told the architects that they must come up with a unique design. They had to create something new that you couldn’t find anywhere else in the world.”
