Default Just another tree house

look closely and you'll see your hidden home away from home. The Mirrorcube ($TBA) is a nearly-invisible treehouse that truly blends in with nature. Built with exterior walls made from reflective "spyglass," the pre-fab structure reflects its surroundings to become almost undetectable. (An infrared film, invisible to humans but visible to birds is placed within the glass to stop kamikazes.) Designed by Scandinavian architects Bolle Tham & Martin Videgård, it's got a wood and aluminum body, and comes complete with restroom, queen-size bed, and Goonies-esque rope bridge.

It's fabulous---I absolutely love the concept. Sounds like an incredibly effective way to get your wife to go hunting with you too...

I would love that! My kids would love it too. How cool is that man! I wonder how it was built? Count me in... I wish I was that good. It's like a hideaway fort!

I give it a week before some kid (Or Me) shoots it with a BB gun. It is pretty cool though. When I was a kid we could only afford an imaginary tree house.

Jason that is freaking sweet! I would totally get one of those and stay in it. I love how it blends in and you can't really see it.

How many birds are going to plow into that?

Oops, missed the part about the bird deflector!

I am glad that somebody thought ahead to putting in the bird deflector. I couldn't imagine how many birds would have crashed into it otherwise. Looks like an interesting concept.
