Entry Description

Hotel INUK is an Arctic retreat located by the Kolik River in Pangnirtung, inspired by the Inuit belief in the cycle of life. The design reflects how nature and people live in rhythm with the changing seasons. The buildings rise from the land like stones shaped by time, connected through paths that bring people together. Using natural materials such as wood and stone, the hotel blends into its surroundings and lets visitors feel the light, wind, and silence of the Arctic.
