SHOKK&AWE DESIGN
Each lodge is individually hand-crafted from seasoned Swedish pine, constructed with axed dovetail joints.
The architectural ‘hat’ protects you from whatever the elements can throw your way. The lodges sit on legs piled into the earth, eliminating the need for harmful concrete slabs.
Using selected aspen, your lodge interior is hand-finished to ensure a sublime tactile experience.
SHOKK&AWE CRAFT
BESPOKE AND HAND CRAFTED FOR A LIFETIME OF PURE ENJOYMENT.
With moose and boar roaming wild in the forest, our workshop is found deep in Sweden by the family’s lake. Honouring traditions going back to the Viking craftsmen, Johannes and his team work with local, ethically managed timber. Slow grown, tight grained, inspiring to use and known as iron pine by the Swedes.
The whole tree is milled into usable timber, the greatest strength being found at the tree’s centre where the grain is tight and strong. We cut through the core and set this robust surface to face the outside of the lodge for maximum protection.
Each dovetail joint is meticulously axed to fit its partnering joint. All angles push the rain away from the walls. No two joints are the same but they fit like a glove.
Beautifully simple door joints and timber seals are designed to flex and adjust as the natural building settles into its environment. No nails or silicon are ever found here.
The outside finish is left natural and rough cut whilst the inside walls are hand planed smooth. Each lodge is fully built in the workshop then numbered and dismantled to be rebuilt on site.
Beauty is simplicity, honed and crafted to endure from generation to generation of Vikings.
SHOKK&AWE DESIGN PALETTE
Monochromatic elegance or utilitarian rustic charm — we have a palette of finishes for you. Whether a luxury hotel by a highland loch, a listed Cotswold cottage or urban pad in Shoreditch, the Shokk&Awe palette can be mixed to fit your environment.
Sustainable, tight grained, Swedish iron pine — Rough cut exterior, with axed dovetail joints Natural or chard finish.
Hand plained interior
Hand forged door furniture
Copper outdoor shower
Crinckly tin roof — Corten, galvinised, powder coated or wild flower
Drainage — Chain drain or tree gutter
TRADITIONAL SAUNA BY HUUM
Wood fired and electric stoves.
Heat naturally rises creating layers of heat, cool from the floor, intense at the ceiling. Traditionally we use 2 stepped benches, intense on the top and more relaxed on the lower.
Intensity is controlled by water and steam from the hot stones. Essential oils are mixed in the water for health and relaxation benefits.
RE-THINKING THE SAUNA BY SAUNUM
The new sauna air mixing system captures the hot steam rising under the ceiling of the sauna room, mixing it with the cooler air from the floor to direct the milder steam back evenly.
This creates a controlled and even temperature. Stacked benches are no longer required which creates a flexible space for loungers, more seating and easier disabled access.
An incorporated salt spray system enriches the air with salt ions, treating skin and respiratory tract.
