Free Spirit Spheres


I came across a website advertising these free spirit spheres, or treehouses for adults.. and I have never seen anyting like this before! I would have booked mine already but the only place that has these amazing mini hotels is the west coast rainforest of Vancouver Island in Canada. There they hang like pendants from a web of rope in the middle of the tall trees. There are two different kind of spheres you can choose from, Eve or Eryn. If you ever need to get away or go somewhere to rest I think this might be the perfect place. It's such a unique idea and I love it that someone was brave enough to do this!

" Spheres can be hung from the trees as shown or from any other solid objects like buildings or rock faces. A web of rope is connected to any strong points available. This replaces the foundation of a conventional building. A suspended tree house uses the forest for its foundation. The occupants have a vested interest in the health of the grove. The supporting web also mirrors our connectedness to our surroundings. Each sphere has four attachments on top and another four anchor points on the bottom. Each attachment is strong enough to carry the entire sphere and contents."
