The UFO Treehouse was completed in 2011. Inredningsgruppen and Bertil Harström designed the structure. It functions as a distinctive accommodation at the Treehotel. The design aimed to be an unexpected encounter in the forest.
The structure counterpoints the camouflaged Bird's Nest. Hidden anchors and a lightweight composite shell minimize impact on host trees.
