Woodnest

Wake up in the treetops in this incredible pine cone–shaped treehouse overlooking a grand fjord in Norway. Suspended 6 meters above ground level, Woodnest is a small cabin wrapped around the trunk of a tree, and can accommodate 4 people inside. There is also a bathroom, a kitchen area and a living room from which to enjoy a unique and privileged view of the fjord. The unique treehouse is accessed via a small timber bridge, leading the visitor off the ground, into the structure and up in to the tree. Designed by architecture studio Helen & Hard, the aim was to create a space that truly embodies what it means to dwell in nature.

THE NEGRONI

The Negroni is one of the easiest cocktails to make, it is also one of the most iconic. According to legend, a century ago Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender in Florence to stiffen an Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. The rest is, as they say, history.  With its cosmically simple 1:1:1 ratio of Campari, sweet vermouth and gin, this cocktail is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet with just a touch of an aura of sophistication.
