Teh giant red bauble suspended from pines at Näsets Marcusgård, a former farm, is not a Christmas decoration but a “tree tent” made of an aluminium and plywood frame, wrapped up in a waterproof canvas. The customisable tree house,
says Tree Tents International’s founder and design director Jason Thawley, aims “to connect people to the outdoors through design” and “works with nature rather than building against or around it”. Willem Terstegen, the co-owner of Näsets Marcusgård, tells the BBC: “Being among the trees offers a small shift that feels immense. The world looks softer, time slows down, and even silence feels alive.”

“Ever since I can remember, I’ve always wanted to build my own tree house,” Heidi Richards told the BBC. She explained she had a large tree in her backyard that she frequently climbed, often bringing up “found objects and leftover building material” to its branches.
