How amazing is this design? One of the most striking treehouses in the world is Sweden's “Mirrorcube” @treehotel. It's probably one of the most photographed too. The Mirrorcube is one of several rooms offered at the hotel and as the name suggests, it's a cube built around a tree trunk and covered in mirrored glass that allows it to blend in with the surrounding forest. The interior is clean & modern with stunning views.

5. Solo Houses, Spain

Holiday in eco cabins with design elements. In rural Aragon, the project "Solo Houses" gives international architects the opportunity to design 15 Tiny Houses according to their imagination. One of them, the so-called "hedonic hamster wheel", was designed by Kersten Geers and David Van Severen, for example. This is a circular holiday home built in the wooded Matarraña mountain district of Aragon. In the triangle Barcelona-Valencia-Zaragoza near the nature reserve Els Ports.

The architects used natural materials such as glass, steel and concrete, as well as marble elements and stainless steel. The architectural peculiarity: Geers and Van Severen used the love of modernism and blurred the inside and outside: the walls made of glass can be opened as desired, so each room offers a view of the landscape. The rooms are narrow, in order to get from one to the other, visitors have to go outside.
