TRENDS – ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY – ACCOMODATION

Sleeping on a tree or sleeping in the rubbish ;-)  or under the ice is so sustainable!
Welcome to the world of FREE SPIRIT SPHERES, set among the tall trees of the west coast rainforest of Vancouver Island. Built on vision and engineering these handcrafted spheres are suspended like pendants from a web of rope. They occupy a truly unique place in the world while providing a habitat for the un-tamed spirit that exists in us all.

Created by the German artist Ha Schult the BEACH GARBAGE HOTELs (one in Rome and one in Madrid) were made from 12 tons of beach debris, the walls were covered with detritus deposited by the tide in Europe, waste found at dumps and items bought at flea markets.


Sweden’s ICE HOTEL is rebuilt every year, the ice and snow melts back into the river. Of course there is an environmental impact of building and running the hotel, so efforts to produce more renewable energy than is consumed are being made. The architects of the Ice Hotel have made a pledge to be CO2 negative by 2015.
