In this week's comments update, readers are buzzing about Watchtower Einderheide, a bat-friendly watchtower designed by NEXT Architects that overlooks a serene forest in the Netherlands.
Standing 26 meters tall, this impressive timber structure features a unique carved cut-out that reveals a spiral staircase and includes integrated habitats for tree-dwelling bats.
