Free Spirit Spheres Luna: A 10.5-Foot Sphere in the Trees

Luna is Free Spirit Spheres’ newest sphere — a 10.5-foot (3200 mm) globe hung in the canopy on a 5-acre property near Qualicum Bay on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, with five windows, a galley counter and sink, electric heat, and a rectangular double bed that rides up out of the way on an electrically operated hydraulic lift.

A Dark Sphere in the Trees

A dark, glossy sphere hangs in the canopy, one circular porthole facing out. Thin cables run from eye-bolts on the shell to the trees and a wood frame overhead, with a small plank landing off to the left. Free Spirit Spheres calls Luna its newest and most luxurious sphere — the same 10.5-foot diameter as Eryn and Melody, but with a five-window configuration.

Spiral Stair to the Landing

A spiral stair with wood treads and a dark rail wraps a trunk and climbs to that landing — the only way in.

From the forest floor it reads as a dark ball in the trees, cables holding it in the opening of its wood frame.

Galley at the Porthole

Inside, the walls are wood. A large circular window sits over a dark-green bench with a patterned pillow at one end, brass hardware on the frame — two of the five windows open. Through the glass: trees, water, a picnic table on a dirt clearing. To the right is the galley, a brown-marble counter with a small round wood sink.

Benches Under the Raised Bed

Green-cushioned benches wrap the curve, with storage cabinets and recessed pulls underneath, a second circular window on the right, and reading lights on the ribs. The flat wood panel overhead is the underside of the bed. That is the trick that makes a 10.5-foot sphere work for two people: with the lift raised, the bed is out of the room entirely and the benches get the whole floor.

The Moon in the Ceiling

Look up and the ribs run to a circular wood medallion — a ring of trees with a moon in the middle — and one small porthole in the curve. This is the 10.5-foot sphere from the inside: the ceiling is close.

The Bath Is Not in the Sphere

There is a composting-toilet outhouse at the base of the tree, and a private 3-piece bathroom about 165 feet away at the central bath house. That is the whole system.

Would you take a night in a 10.5-foot sphere with the toilet down at the base and the shower a short walk away — or do you need the bath in the same room?
