360-degree panorama over nature in a forest near Prague

This treehouse blends in with its surroundings almost completely, offering a view not only over the forest, but the sheep grazing nearby, too.

Czech architect Jan Tyrpek designed a cozy treehouse on the forested private area of Hrusice near Prague. The aim of the installation-like hut is to bring the users of the building and their environment closer to each other.

The house consisting of two wooden platforms can be accessed through a ladder. From here, guests can get a 360 degree panorama over the surrounding landscape owing to the circular glass walls connecting the ceiling and the floor. The house was not built for private purposes: anyone can visit it by making an appointment with the owner and it will also serve as the venue of workshops in the future.
