Freespirit Spheres

Images of Freespirit Spheres.


"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."  This escape, located in the tall trees of Vancouver Island's west coast rainforest, takes sustainable design to a whole new level.  This site mainly used to promote this place as a vacation destination, but the idea is pretty cool.  I have attached photos and information about some of the spheres below:
Eve
"Eve is made from cedar strips and was our first hand crafted sphere. Eve is 9 ft. in diameter (2800mm) and has 2 - 4' diameter windows. She has one comfy duvet covered single bed, a settee for sitting, cupboards and counter space."

  Melody
"Our newest sphere in the trees is named "Melody". She has a vibrant yellow fibreglass exterior with a mural that definitely catches the eye.  Her black walnut interior has a spacious open living concept. She has 5 windows, including a sky light, a small sink, cupboards with dishes, purified water and everything you need for making tea and coffee. Melody has bench seats under the large windows and two tables that fold down to make work stations. She has a murphy bed that comes out of the back wall creating a bedroom at night. Her comfy duvet covered double bed sleeps two people. She is electrically heated with a thermostat on the wall. Many accent cupboards and adjustable lighting enable you to set the mood. She has a private electric composting outhouse adjacent to the sphere. For your enjoyment Melody is wired for 120V AC and has built in speakers for those who wish to bring their own music or video devices."
