Architecture and Interior Design using Ice

December 25, 2009


This Ice Hotel is rebuilt every year with 30,000 tons of snow and 4,000 tons of ice blocks using a design based on the architecture of medieval Cathedrals. Temperatures in the ice hotel vary between -4 to -9 degrees c even when outside temperatures drop below -30c.By late April the suns rays are beginning to take their toll and by June the ice hotel has returned to its liquid state.



"The dropping of the temperature to several degrees below zero in Jukkasjärvi marks the start of an ephemeral art endeavour. Using only frozen water form the Torne River, artists from all over the world gather in this small Swedish village, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, to create an exclusive art exhibition: ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi."

About Me


Although my business as an Interior Designer- Architect is based in Norwich, I also have experience of presenting Interior Design proposals for residential and commercial projects throughout the UK and recently in Europe.
On these pages I hope to be able to convey the influences which help to shape and form my style and approach to mywork in Interior Architecture as well as Interior Design. This is an especially exciting time for me as I
step into the world of running my own business for the first time. There is a crisis on and its in the lap of the gods as to whether I succeed or fail, but........"It is far better to have tried................."

My Approach

Money spent on expensive wallpaper, Farrow and Ball paints etc will never replace the proper utilisation of space archived by paying attention to Interior Architecture, and Interior Design. Quality of light, functionality, architectural details, all are more important in contributing to the  character, ambiance and sense of well being in that space.  Homes and other spaces that were simply decorated and not designed  eventually become dated and often the lack of design contributes to a sense of unease about the space.  Good Interior Design which functions on the comfort of the occupant in every sense can be simply redecorated when necessary and always feel right.
