For months I was convinced ARK needed a wood-fired sauna.
It felt authentic. Timeless. Ritualistic.
But the more I think about what we’re actually building, the more I question it.
If our goal is to create one of Australia’s most premium micro-stay experiences, should luxury feel traditional…
Or should it feel effortless?
Should guests light a fire and wait…
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 isn’t just about design, it’s about defining what ARK stands for.
So I’m curious…
What does true luxury and ritual look like to you?
🔥 Wood-fired?
⚡️ Electric?
