Tree Pods: The Next Big Thing
Remember the Ewokes from Star Wars? You know those furry little friends of Chewbacca, who lived up in the trees? Well, if you ever had the urge to make like an Ewoke and live in the trees, I have good news! Now you can.A company out of British Columbia has developed "Free Spirit Spheres," which are pods-houses suspended from trees. According to the company, these durable spheres can be used for all sorts of purposes: healing, meditation, photography, canopy research, leisure and game watching.
If they sound a little dangerous, don't worry, they're not. Spheres can be hung from the trees or any other solid objects like buildings or rock faces. A web of rope is connected to any solid surface, thereby replacing the foundation of a conventional building.
If nothing else, these Free Spirit Spheres redefine what it means to just be hanging out.
