contemporary design with unspoiled nature. “The 7th Room” hovers ten meters above a pine forest
in Harads, offering breathtaking views of the Lapland treetops and Lule River.

Focusing on the surrounding nature, The 7th Room features large windows, a netted terrace suspended
above the forest floor, a tree stretching up through the cabin, and a sixth facade that reveals a large
black-and-white print of trees reaching up into the sky. On the inside, the 55-square meter space offers
two bedrooms, a social lounge area, bathroom, and the aforementioned canopy terrace, with the ability to accomadate up to five guests.

Snøhetta said of the space:
The design of the 7th room aims to bring people and nature closer together, extending the cabin’s
social spaces to the outside and further blending the distinction between indoor and outdoor.
Entering the cabin, one arrives into the lounge area. This is thought of as a social space, and it
is furnished with a central pellet stove and simple, yet characteristic furniture such as Scandia
Chair by Norwegian furniture designer Hans Brattrud. A north-facing floor-to-ceiling window
gives you the best chance to see the Aurora Borealis on a clear day, giving this social space
the name the Northern Light lounge. A large glass door leads from the lounge area out on the
netted terrace. The double-layered net spans between the two bedrooms with a pine tree peeking
through in the middle. Extending the social space of the lounge, the net becomes a great
opportunity for coming even closer to nature. For the brave ones, a sleeping bag is all you need
to enjoy the night under the starry night sky. Guests sleeping inside can also look up at the night
sky, with expansive, openable skylights in both bedrooms. The bedrooms are located on
opposite sides of the cabin, facing the central tree and net, with large sliding glass doors to enter
out on the net.Book your stay in The 7th Room here.
