Skysphere – a solar "tree house" with a 360-degree view

Skysphere - a dream haven

Every man wants to have his own "Batman's cave", a place where it's just him and his "toys", where he retreats to drink beer or indulge in some other pleasure. Engineer Jono Williams did not dig, but built his Skysphere "cavity" above the ground. It is a solar-powered "tree house" with a 360-degree view, controlled by a smartphone, and located in the land of the long white cloud.

Skysphere is solar powered "tree house" with a 360-degree view in which it is Jonah Williams invested more than 3,000 hours of work and calculated 45 thousand euros. The modern construction has grown in the countryside in the suburb of Linton in New Zealand and is equipped with high-tech devices, fast internet connection and ambient LED lighting. All appliances including refrigerator, couch with beer dispenser, wireless sound system and projector run solar energy, collected by solar panels (there's plenty of sun in New Zealand) and managed via Williams' special Android applications.
