Fall in Love with the Future of the Tree House!
Here at Green Options, our coverage of tree houses on Clean Technica and Feel Good Style lead me to a discussion on treehouse hotels. This started me thinking about the the perfect way to experience ecotourism…
…in a way that might further ecological education and preservation. For example, show above are aerial views of Hinchinbrook tree house hotel in Australia, which is tucked inside a 96-acre national park with lush rainforests, sandy beaches, plus mountain hiking.
Realizing not all of us may have the ability to dash away to a resort, a simpler treetop experience is Free Spirit Spheres (shown below), that is something Inhabitat updates us on as you can not only visit their unique place, you may buy own orb from them.
The Ecosphere is in a grove of trees, and can be your little personal treehouse spacecraft among the branches.

…set among the tall trees of the west coast rainforest of Vancouver Island, Canada…Built on vision and engineering these handcrafted spheres are suspended like pendants from a web of rope. They occupy a truly unique place in the world while providing a habitat for the un-tamed spirit that exists in us all.
Also check out this O2 Sustainability Orb, whose founder explains:
“the treehouse is a symbol of the entire sustainability movement and a beacon of hope for man’s survival. The O2 Treehouse is a combination of formal sculptural sensibilities, functional design and an environmentalist’s passion.” ~Dustin Feider
Stay tuned for more updates on treehouse inventions and ideas about the future of them. Many would agree, sitting up in a treetop, is a healing, meditative experience. Photography, painting, studying birds up in the tree canopy, or just reading a good book while life unfolds around you are some of the many possibilities.
