For months I was convinced ARK needed a wood-fired sauna.
It felt authentic. Timeless. Ritualistic.
But the more I think about what weāre actually building, the more I question it.
If our goal is to create one of Australiaās most premium micro-stay experiences, should luxury feel traditionalā¦
Or should it feel effortless?
Should guests light a fire and waitā¦
Or arrive, press a button, and step into a perfectly heated sauna every single time?
This is the challenge of building something from scratch with no validation but my own.
Every decision isnāt just about design, itās about defining what ARK stands for.
So Iām curiousā¦
What does true luxury and ritual look like to you?
š„ Wood-fired?
ā”ļø Electric?
