Nests for humans. They are the ones that the artist Jayson Fann realizes, in which you can experience how it feels to sleep like birds. Made only and strictly with in branches carefully harvested from the trees of local woods and forests to build these incredible structures.
Before starting to dream of spending a night in a nest, however, it is better to know that these structures do not exactly offer the best of comfort. Unfortunately, in fact, nThey are not water proof. But if you are inclined to adventure in nature, this is an unmissable experience. The nest in Treebones, for example, can host up to 8 people and is composed of the branches of eucalyptus trees.
“I have great respect and care for trees. So it is important to carefully choose the branches and cut them so that the tree is not damaged. The best branches come from the top of the tree as they are more mature, strong, and have an funique spiral footprint sculpted by wind and time. It often happens to me that I have to climb to the top of a tree to collect these branches “, says the artist on his blog Big Sur Spirit Garden.
It is on these pages that Jayson Fann explains step by step how he builds a nest: “After harvesting the wood I use a machete to remove the leaves from the branches. I disperse the leaves in a safe place to minimize any fire hazard on the forest floor ”. The branches are sorted by size, Jayson then assembles them like the pieces of a puzzle to create a spiral shape, designed for structural integrity and aesthetics.
Once the nest reaches a certain size, it is transported to its final position, leaning against one solid base with the help of a crane. At this point, all you need to do is complete the finishing touches, adding a mattress and a ladder for access. Too hard to DIY? Don't worry, the artist also creates and sells custom-made nests, which can cost between $ 4.000 and $ 20.000.
