nordica - ELEGANT SIMPLICITY & FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY 

The Aspire Nordica is the very first of its kind. Taking lodge living skyward, the Nordica features a unique roof terrace with teak deck boards, glass balustrades, integrated planter boxes and low-level lighting. Unlike any other rooftop lodge, this terrace is accessed by a conventional staircase from within the home. 

Inspired by the elegant simplicity, minimalism and functionality of Scandinavian interior design, this home is truly like no other. The sensibly arranged vestibule opens into the most striking kitchen ever seen in a holiday lodge, with floating-effect appliances seen through a tile-framed island. The elegantly arranged and cosy lounge, with its feature log burner-effect gas fire, high vaulted ceilings and large bifolding doors, further epitomises the understated grandeur of this crafted work of art. The Nordica sets a new benchmark as the pinnacle of luxury lodge living.

Nordic countries are said to be the happiest in the world. It is believed that this is down to one thing: "hygge" (hoo-gah). This idea has been translated as in various ways, from the art of creating intimacy to the cosiness of the soul or taking pleasure from the presence of soothing things. In Norwegian, the original word "hygge" means "well-being" (likely originating from the word "hug") and is linked to the idea of "to comfort" or "to embrace". 

We’ve embraced this concept and created a true expression of "hygge" in the Nordica lodge by melding curves, circles and linear geometry in unique ways and using homey materials that are warm and inviting. The Nordica is elevated and honest in spirit. It portrays the juxtaposition of smooth and rough, soft and hard, shiny and worn, light and dark, old and new, rustic and refined all at once. 

You feel all of these qualities when cuddled up with a loved one on the sumptuous designer sofa in front of the dancing flames of the panoramic, glass-fronted fireplace; when sharing comfort food with your closest friends, prepared in the naturally gorgeous kitchen; when you wake on crisp, blue mornings with warm sunlight breaking through the snow-white voiles of the full-height windows in just the right way. 

The Aspire Nordica has been designed to captivate and create intimacy. It is not simply to be seen or lived in… it is to be felt.
