Do these pictures speak for themselves or do they hardly speak?

This “Tree Hotel” in the far north of Sweden has a reflective exterior that creates a camouflage so effective that it achieves an unworldly effect. Anchored to a tree, this aluminum room for two has 360 degree views of remote wilderness. To prevent birds from colliding with the glass, a transparent laminate is added into the glass panes which is visible to birds only. The architects, Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, aimed to explore mans’ high tech collaboration with nature.

It is hard to imagine these images as reality.
