Uses for these durable Spheres are limited only by ones
imagination. Healing, meditation, photography, canopy research,
leisure and game watching are just some of the things you could
do.
Spheres can be hung from the trees as shown or from any other solid
objects like buildings or rock faces. A web of rope is connected to
any strong points available. This replaces the foundation of a
conventional building. A suspended tree house uses the forest for
its foundation. The occupants have a vested interest in the health
of the grove. The supporting web also mirrors our connectedness to
our surroundings. Each sphere has four attachments on top and
another four anchor points on the bottom. Each attachment is strong
enough to carry the entire sphere and contents.
Wood spheres are made of two laminations of wood strips over
laminated wood frames. The outside is then finished and covered
with clear fiberglass. The result is a beautiful and very tough
skin. Fiberglass shells are also available. The skins are
waterproof and strong enough to take the impacts that come with
life in a dynamic environment such as the forest. The structural
integrity of a sphere and the ability to move and absorb shock
loads combine to produce a robust accommodation package.
