- A hut made of snowballs -
Inspired by a snow lantern, a winter tradition that is said to be of Scandinavian roots, this hut made from 5000 snowballs has hollows which makes the structure permeable and gives the surroundings a nice glow when the interior is lit up.
To create snowballs, the ideal temperature is around 2-3 C, if it is colder the snow will not stick properly and if it is warmer it will melt away.
During the day of creation, the conditions were optimal, but when the evening came it became warmer. The good thing was that the snowballs melted together in a nice fashion, and the hollows became more prominent.
It also became easier to create the entrance by gently removing the desired snowballs.
This is the first hut in our new series "Primitive Huts" where we will be creating simple but thoughtful sheds/huts using one material only, preferably found in nature. The aim is to create at least one every year.
