Via live web cam you can follow us working on our Suite Ice fishing in ICEHOTEL. With exception for shorter breaks and lunch, we will be broadcasting the building process between 10 am and 8 pm CET.

Lot of work today in spite of the fact it´s Sunday. Icehotel never sleeps but that´s fine, Rome wasn´t built in a day after all.
We met the Lighting Team to discuss about the illumination in the Suite, the challenge is to create an underwater feeling since the scene takes place on the bottom of a frozen lake. The whole room will be draped in a deep-blue light with the only source of daylight coming straight from the hole in the roof.



To create this particular effect we have to make the walls very smooth and round all the corners.




The fish is also on its way out of the huge snow block inside our room. Snow and Ice are such a lovely materials with different properties and textures but it feels they carry the same Soul.



See you tomorrow.
