HYGGE HOUSE WARMING HUT
Winnipeg, Manitoba

Hygge House is cozy. It is a simple wood framed structure; a reproduction of one of the most cherished symbols of Canadiana – the wilderness cottage. Within Hygge House, artifacts of cottage life set the stage for an authentic depiction of the weekend getaway while encouraging imagination, participation, and play. The entire interior of Hygge House is painted fluorescent yellow. Coating the contents not only creates a warm, inviting space, sheltered from the wind, it also creates a stage set where the visitors to Hygge House become essential components of the design as Hygge is only truly achieved when people come together.

Hygge House has become an iconic work of public art/architecture. It is believed to be one of the most widely photographed building projects in Winnipeg today.
