The HemLoft is a small but beautiful egg-shaped house built out in the woods near Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. It was designed and built by a Canadian software developer-turned-carpenter who, evidently, decided he needed a peaceful retreat. He's kept the exact location of the building a secret because it is built on Crown lands (ie. government property) without permission. Let's hope he gets away with it!
