Mirrorcube - The Invisible Luxurious Tree House

 Inspired by the documentary "The Tree Lover", Scandinavian architects Bolle Tham and Martin Videgard decided to create a Tree House that allows people to live in Nature among the Tops of Trees. 

They created the Mirrorcube which is one of the units of "Treehotel" in Harads, Sweden. The Cube of 4 sq.m. is connected to a Tree and is completely covered by a Mirror.

Woodpecker Hotel - A Hotel on Tree

Remember the Favorite Nutcracker - Cartoon 

that drove young and old crazy with its funny adventures?

It's time to get to know his house, the Woodpecker Hotel, an Eco-Shelter in the Heart of a Park.

This Idiosyncratic Hotel is located in Sweden's Vasteras Municipal Park, built 13 meters above the Ground on the Branches of a Tree.

Creator Mikael Genberg, an Artist and Pioneer in the design of Original Hotels, placed this Unique Room on a 130 year old Oak Tree. 

It is one of the Smallest Hotels in the World, as it can accommodate only One Person or a Couple. The Rustic Room includes a comfortable Terrace, where the Guest can enjoy his coffee, literally in nature.

Access is only possible by an Escalator and the view of the Park and the adjacent Lake is magnificent.

Amazing Rotating Tower

Amazing Rotating Tower

The Dynamic Architecture Building, which will be constantly in Motion changing its Shape, will be able to generate Electric Energy for itself as well as for other Buildings. 

 

48 Wind Turbines fitted between each Rotating Floors as well as the Solar Panels positioned on the Roof of the Building will produce Energy from Wind and the Sunlight, without any Risk of Pollution.

The total Energy produced by this inbuilt ‘Power-House' every year will be worth approximately $ seven million.

Each turbine can produce 0.3 megawatt of electricity, compared to 1-1.5 megawatt generated by a normal vertical turbine (windmill).




Considering that Dubai gets 4,000 wind hours annually, the turbines incorporated into the building can generate 1,200,000 kilowatt-hour of energy.




As average annual power consumption of a family is estimated to be 24,000 kilowatt-hour, each turbine can supply energy for about 50 families. The Dynamic Architecture tower in Dubai will be having 200 apartments and hence four turbines can take care of their energy needs.




The surplus clean energy produced by the remaining 44 turbines can light up the neighborhood of the building.




However, taking into consideration that the average wind speed in Dubai is of only 16 km/h the architects may need to double the number of turbines to light up the building to eight.




Still there will be 40 free turbines, good enough to supply power for five skyscrapers of the same size.




The horizontal turbines of the Dynamic Architecture building are simply inserted between the floors, practically invisible. They neither need a pole nor a concrete foundation. In addition, they are at zero distance from the consumer, which makes maintenance easier.




The modern design of the building and the carbon fiber special shape of the wings take care of the acoustics issues.




Producing that much electric energy without any implication on the aesthetic aspect of the building is a revolutionary step in tapping alternative energy sources.




Furthermore, this energy will have a positive impact on the environment and economy.
