- <p> You can live on the water and in the trees at the same time in this oval-shaped treehouse. It's like the 21st century's answer to having a cabin in the woods.<br /> <br /> Photo courtesy of <a href="http://www.baumraum.de/articles/39/baumhaus-solling/" target="_blank">Baumraum</a></p>

- <p> This seemingly floating orb is the brainchild of <a href="http://www.freespiritspheres.com/" target="_blank">Free Spirit Spheres</a>. The treehouse is meant to embody the theme of "oneness," fitting into a forest setting without altering it. Suspended spheres, Free Spirit Spheres notes, "reduces the human footprint to near zero."<br /> <br /> Photo: Tom Chudleigh/<a href="http://www.freespiritspheres.com/" target="_blank">Free Spirit Spheres</a></p>

- <p> This is one of the "tree rooms" at Sweden's <a href="http://www.treehotel.se/" target="_blank">Treehotel</a> in Sweden, a hotel in the wilderness consisting of several treehouses for guests to stay in. The Mirrorcube's exterior is made of reflective glass, so it appears to blend in with its surroundings.<br /> <br /> Photo: Peter Lundstrom, WDO -- <a href="http://www.treehotel.se/" target="_blank">www.treehotel.se</a></p>
- <p> The minimalist interior is made of plywood with a birch surface and includes a double bed, bathroom, lounge and rooftop terrace.<br /> <br /> Photo: Peter Lundstrom, WDO -- <a href="http://www.treehotel.se/" target="_blank">www.treehotel.se</a></p>

- <p> But on the inside, it's a sleek wood panel-clad space with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a living area to accommodate a family.<br /> <br /> Photo: Peter Lundstrom, WDO -- <a href="http://www.treehotel.se/" target="_blank">www.treehotel.se</a></p>
- <p> A third "tree room" at the Treehotel, the UFO is made of durable composite material and is meant to stick out from -- rather than blend in with -- its surroundings.<br /> <br /> Photo: Peter Lundstrom, WDO -- <a href="http://www.treehotel.se/" target="_blank">www.treehotel.se</a></p>
- <p> It's interior is just as odd as its exterior...<br /> <br /> Photo: Peter Lundstrom, WDO -- <a href="http://www.treehotel.se/" target="_blank">www.treehotel.se</a></p>
