The Seventh Room in Sweden. Photo: Snohetta While many of us sweat through Aussie summer nights, we’re fantasising about somewhere more peaceful to fall asleep.
Somewhere like The Seventh Room – a cabin amongst the trees in Northern Sweden where you can watch the famous northern lights spectacle.
The luxury tree house is the brainchild of international design studio Snøhetta.

The recently opened cabin sits on 12 stilts, nestled in the trees 10 metres up.
It has has two bedrooms, each with large windows and a skylight, opening up to breathtaking views of Lapland and the Lule River by day, and the northern lights or aurora borealis by night.
The interiors are a lot more sophisticated than a backyard tree house, with bright birch plywood walls and chic Nordic minimalism.
Even though you’ve probably only just returned to work, this could be somewhere to consider when booking your next holiday. Photo: Snohetta
It also has a social lounge area, bathroom, all temperature controlled and decorated with furs and rugs to maximally channel the Danish concept of hygge.
Underneath, the building is covered in an aluminium sheet with a print of what the surrounding trees look like from below, which acts as a sort of camouflage.
A highlight is the outdoor terrace with a netted base and a tree stretching through the middle, intending to make guests feel like they are a part of nature.

Guests won’t need to worry about hauling luggage up as there is a small luggage lift.
A staircase leads up to the cabin – wrapped in black pine cladding it looks at home in the pine forest.
Bookings will set you back 15,000 Swedish krona ($2240) per night and much of this year is booked so keen punters would be advised to get in quickly.
