Tree Spheres of Vancouver Island

On Vancouver Island in my home province of British Columbia, the Tree Spheres was created to give visitors an eco-friendly and unique way to live in the forest without having to set up a tent.

The spheres are suspended by cables that hold up the ball in which tourists stay inside for days or weeks, depending on their reservations. This suspension offers the visitors a way to look at the forest from an aerial perspective without infringing on the natural organisms that are down below.

In terms of design, it is somewhat uncanny that these orb-like balls look like permanent cocoons. Every morning, the tourists come out of their sphere to experience the forest in a nouvelle way, a la "new life", that is reminiscent of the ongoing "circle" (sphere) of life that is happening in the forest below.
