A Free Spirit House is a tree house for grownups. Invented and manufactured by Tom Chudleigh, each house is a hand-crafted wooden sphere that is suspended from a web of rope. The house seems to hang from trees like a nut or a piece of fruit. To enter a Free Spirit House, you must climb a spiral stairway or cross a suspension bridge. The sphere sways gently in the breeze and rocks when persons inside move.

Free Spirit Houses may look odd, but their design is a practical form of bio-mimicry. Their shape and their function imitate the natural world.

If you want to try out a Free Spirit House, you can rent one for the night. Or, you can purchase your own Free Spirit House or Free Spirit House kit to place on your own land. Learn more at Free Spirit Spheres.
