Arctic ilua
A greenhouse for
Arctic conditions.
We investigate how light, shelter and warmth can support cultivation with less added energy.

Microclimate / analysis and advice
Space for life.
Even in harsh climates.
We analyse sun, wind, terrain and building form. Site-specific models inform sunyards, cultivation and better outdoor spaces.

Horticulture in Narsarsuaq
Local cultivation.
A place to begin.
We are working to establish a horticultural project in Narsarsuaq, centred on local cultivation.
Establishment in progress · Narsarsuaq, South Greenland

Ilua Light & Energy
Light and energy.
Passive energy, photonics and spectral shifting. We investigate how materials and optical geometry can shape and distribute daylight for cultivation and spaces.

02 / Agency
A long-term commitment.
ilua is an Arctic design and development agency based in Helsingør, with a test site in Narsarsuaq being planned.
We investigate how local Arctic conditions can inform better places to grow, spend time and build. We work with sun, shelter, warmth and materials — and the relationship between landscape and building.
Arctic ilua is one application of this work. We also explore the principles for sheltered outdoor spaces and other places between indoors and outdoors.
03 / Investors
Help develop the next step.
We are a tech startup developing solutions for cultivation, microclimate, light and energy. We are seeking investors and strategic contributors for the next phase.
