72h Cabin (Sweden)

Smaller than a single bedroom and just larger than the bed itself, 72h Cabin is quite literally a place to sleep in the forest. The buildings were actually created for a study by Karolinska Institutet measuring stress reduction. No surprise, participants who stayed in 72h left with dramatically reduced stress levels. Designed by JeanArch, these itsy-bitsy retreats were made to enhance their natural wooded surroundings and keep you as close to nature as you possibly can be (with a roof over your head). Located on a private, off-the-grid island, the structures are made of timber from the very trees that grow around 72h. A boost from the ground provides warmth, and glass walls and an A-frame roof are perfect for stargazing.

Beautiful! Reminds me of the work of Olson Kundig - Check out their work: http://www.olsonkundig.com/

Thanks! I checked that out. You have some good looking food on your channel...makes me hungry.

That is pretty cool. I know when I went hiking in the mountains I pack a Hennessey hammock but if you use the rain fly you can't see anything above or more then 2 or 3 feet off the sides of you. I bet you could rent this little camping cabins out to people all day long. Sure beats sleeping in a tent on the ground especially in cold or wet weather. I am surprised that people had stress reduction sleeping in those since sleeping in the woods has an unsafe feeling for a lot of the modernized world now a days. Love the concept though thank you for the article.

I would love staying in a place like that. Had to share this. Manual has so many wonderful posts such as this. They have a nice stripped down look also. Thanks for your comment!

Beautiful. I have the perfect setting for one. 🐓🐓

Me too, I love this sleeping pod!
