Treehouse to be built on Bristol's M Shed crane
Posted on: 07 Mar 2017The world's first crane-based treehouse is being built in front of the M Shed. ‘Canopy and Stars at Crane 29’, a one bedroom space is to open in May, when the room will be available to the public. Submit your application to stay in the treehouse here.
The Bristol skyline, attractive though it already is, has sometimes appeared to be missing something. Previously it had proved impossible to lay a finger on exactly what that something was, though now a bit of outside-the-box thinking seems to have found the answer: a treehouse.
Canopy and Stars, a Bristol travel company specialising in interesting spaces, have announced plans to erect a treehouse on a crane in front of the M Shed - one of the three which performed the choreographed dance in 2015. ‘Canopy and Stars at Crane 29’ will operate as a one-bedroom holiday home for two between May 27th and September 30th, costing as little as £185 per night. Register for a chance to stay in the treehouse here.
“We truly believe there is nothing better than waking up to the great outdoors, seeing, feeling, touching and smelling nature all around you,” says Canopy & Stars managing director Tom Dixon.
“For the past six years we’ve been travelling Europe to inspect and select the most special experiences, finding them in the most unusual of spaces.
“We wanted to use this knowledge to create something special of our own, here in our hometown of Bristol, a hub of ingenuity and creativity with green principles at its heart.”
Register for the first ballot for slots to stay at Canopy and Stars at Crane 29 here. The second ballot opens on July 3rd. The treehouse will be available for booking between May 27th and September 30th. For more information on the project, go here.
