What do you get when you cross '2001 a Space Odyssey' and the 'Ewok Village'? The Free Spirit Sphere of course! Designed and built in Canada, by Tom Chudleigh the Sphere is an eco friendly pod like living quarter that nestles itself and co-exists with its forest environments. The concept of the Sphere is for the dweller to be 'as one' with it's surroundings without doing any environmental damage. The Sphere emphasis is the importance to its inhabitants to protect the trees that support it . With just 3.2m in living space, the pods are subject to swaying in high winds but do have the major advantage of being easily transported and relocated from tree to tree. With the traditional wooden versions costing $100,000 and fibreglass versions costing $25,000. Chudleigh's Eco Pods are friendlier to the environment than they are to your wallet. by Billy T
