Cast in Place: Ice Fishing Hut Uses Frozen Walls of Water

Think: cast-in-place versus prefab concrete. Part fishing shack, part igloo, part minimalist chalet, this portable part-time dwelling uses blocks of ice that are poured on the spot rather than painstakingly cut, drug and assembled on site.

Wire mesh reinforces these wall-and-window elements, which can serve as a trellis for greenery during summer months of disuse (or alternative open-air uses).

“Unavailability” from studio Gartnerfuglen can be assembled in minutes, or less, by a pair of people – easy to deploy and also to store (since the heaviest part – the thick walls – simply melt away). Photos by Astrid Rohde Wang and Olav Lunde Arneberg.

Dreams are one thing, reality another – still, there is something endearingly audacious about the scope of this singular piece of furniture.

Imagine yourself carried by a trio or so of minions, or floating with your lover out on the open water in a luxurious bed.

This minimalist daybed by Gandia Blasco may not actually provide you with the above experience, but hey, you can dream.
