The Arctic TreeHouse Hotel project started with a concept design that was developed in close cooperation with the client. The inspiration for the accommodation concept set on a steep natural slope came from Nordic nature and culture. A vision started to form: small individual accommodation buildings set in nature, their spirit highlighting characteristics of the area and creating an optimal setting for experiencing both nature and arctic mysticism.
The Arctic TreeHouse Hotel accommodation units, shingle covered pine cone cows, grow in the nature and rising on their black stick legs among the rocks and trees. They wander downhill, peering curiously at the landscape and northern lights.
