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 main building is inspired by a jam of floating timber in the river. Architects are Bertil Harström & Johan Kauppi.

Arctic Bath is a floating cold bath planned to be floating on Luleriver. The hotel and 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.

The cold bath experience is not for the faint hearted, it is a refreshing four-degree-Celcius bath. And with the combination of warm saunas and arctic spa it is a destination and a complement to Treehotel. To complete your experiance you can stay in one of the 6 floating hotel rooms.

The project 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, hot bath, several saunas, spa treatment room, lounge, shop, bar and a restaurant. It can also be used for small conferences, smaller group events and private parties.
