located 33 kilometers (20 miles) west of xiuning county, the ‘qiyunshan tree house’ has been designed by bengo studio, a shanghai-based practice established in 2011. elevated above the forest floor, an enclosed glass corridor leads inside the hotel. from here, guests can either descend to a bedroom and bathroom below, or take the staircase to the spaces above where the remainder of the timber boxes fan out around the central core.
