Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
Plans are announced for a new international hotel and coldbath in Harads, Swedish Lapland. The building is inspired by the timber floating era and becomes a monument, a reminder about the importance of forests for the entire country’s development. The mainbuilding is inspired by a jam of floating timber in the river.
Arctic Bath is a floating cold bath planned to be floating on Luleriver. Arctic Bath is planned to be situated downstream from the bridges of Bodtraskfors, Harads. It will be a year round hotel, summertime free-floating and wintertime frozen on Luleriver.
Behind the project is Arctic Bath AB.
Arctic Bath has a circular shape which creates a protected environment. The center of the bath is great for both sunbathing and winter bathing, a coldbath under the sky. The main floating building has a cold bath, several saunas, spa treatment room, lounge, shop, bar and a restaurant. The total area is approximately 500 square meter and the 6 separate floating hotel rooms are approximately 25 square meter each.
The Arctic Bath can also be used for small conferences, smaller group events and private parties.
Arctic Bath expects to become an exclusive hotel and arctic cold bath, and plans are to collaborate with Treehotel and other high end desitinations. Our focus is wellness, cold-bath and sauna experience and nature. Opening expected in late 2018.
