old boat would soon bunker became a luxury residence. and meet in time to get some useful tips for an orderly home. for a first destination we venture to one of the northernmost regions of europe and the third installment of our series ice cold well off to lapland a sparsely populated area which is covered in snow for over five months of the year because of those cold conditions artists from around the world joined forces to create a so-called snow village in the finnish municipality of kitty let they create frozen sculptures up installations and even entire buildings in fact if you don't mind the cold too much you can stay in a hotel room made of ice but just for one night and don't let the frost bite.

village lies tucked away amid the snowy woods one hundred fifty kilometers north of finland's arctic circle it was built entirely from snow and ice the snow village covers some twenty thousand square meters ice artist rami taco is one of its creators. for me experience that i'm living my dream here in la i swore i would be by the nature and i can verify with the material which is even bringing me closer to that nature and it feels so good to be able to share this experience with the guests who obviously being a misnomer it's. this year's theme is game of thrones artists have carved characters and scenes from the hit t.v. series out of ice visitors can even spend a night here. guests staying in one of the ten igloo suites can sleep beside a white walker character. the body heat of two guests lets the temperature inside

the igloo rise from minus five to zero degrees celcius the creators recommend spending no more than one night in these frosty temperatures tonight for two costs three hundred fifty euros. stephen marr and his partner lena zagel spent a night here curled up in sleeping bags suitable for subzero temperatures and additional fleece leaving banks comfortable hardly. office although i guess that makes it so adventurous you've got these warm floral patterns here so waking up to them in the cold morning is really special but it is a motive and there's a sort of ospreys on it was. a new ice hotel has been built for seventeen years in a row now ice and snow artists from all over the world come here to build the snow village. over the course of a month they use some twenty million kilos of snow and three hundred fifty thousand

kilos of ice the. lighting is very important part of the art itself so one part is making that finding the art of from the snow but then it's also like hoff of the experience is to me if properly then it really comes alive. romney offers ice sculpture workshops with his support stephen moore and his wife transform a block of ice into an intricate leaf. was it upside down or it would be more difficult oldest i didn't think it would be possible to actually carving leaf out of a block of ice in just one hour the tile. ice is very brittle little mistakes can be fixed using body heat bits can be reattached that are broken off. as and when the tough to use either works in an entirely new light because now we know much more about this because we've used the tools held them in our own hands

and tried it out seen a hundred a few types of that really gives you a different perspective on. the tough one and then can stack it on all of us on. this dragon was carved from twelve tons of ice. on the village attracts visitors from around the globe at the bar they can order drinks in the rocks as the glasses are made of ice. guests can even marry here many couples tie the knot in the ice chapel. and there's an igloo restaurant. that i am either from inside is sixteen me there's having two hundred square metres of floor area and if you feel cold then this is one place to make you feel much more warmer because everybody knows that when you have food in the stomach you start to feel much more warmer eating here is

a curious experience. it feels really good to be say cold and holding things as a cold and been told you get is on a main to eat summit this week will be pretty quickly because it gets cold significantly. above forty may. that mark. i didn't mean to do. and you can like stick to it you put your hands or anything on it too long. ice art is a hands on experience but by april temperatures began rising and the beautiful creations start to melt. to be honest of course that feeds are a little bit sad when everything melts down but at the same time it's so fascinating to work with the material and the art that what you are creating is only existing structure a short amount of time before disappearing so everything with this here you can experience only in the one winter when you come back in the next winter you cannot

see the same art anymore. the artists already have some ideas for next year's thing but before spring arrives thousands more visitors will flock here to see their unique winter wonderland. let's get up to date on what else is happening around europe we kick off our express with some cool kicks as berlin jumps onto the snake a train. balance public transport system has teamed up with treats its first limited edition sneakers. just five hundred pairs will be produced inspired by the patterns on the seats in berlin subway cars. a yearly pulse is woven into the shoes tongue so where is get unlimited travel around the capital until the end of twenty eighteen. this is by no means the first publicity stunt recently the transport company and

a favorite with the public the building which overlooks hamburg opened officially with a concert in light show one year ago. by the end of twenty seven teams some four and a half million people had visited the viewing platform and some eight hundred fifty thousand had attended a concert in the new building. it took nearly a decade to build the concert home and the costs as to make it at seventy seven million rose to ten times that was. living in a nazi era bunker sounds like heavy concrete heavy history and little daylight but seeing the building in a mixed report might change your mind in today's euro max deluxe we're featuring a former air raid shelter in the southern german city of munich despite its dark and gloomy wartime origins

a local property developer has managed to bring light and life into its thick concrete walls well the easiest of but he certainly rose to the challenge see for yourself. situated near a busy intersection in munich shopping district is a bunker it is under the preservation order. to nine hundred forty three to protect up to seven hundred people during air raids now it's one of munich's most unusual residences. i'll show you around. real estate developer he lives. in an apartment spread over three feels he has four hundred square meters of space. the furnishings reflect a mix of. the elements provide

a contrast to the coldest. has deliberately left the buildings original structure exposed in some places. first time i came here i found it quite oppressive the walls are two meters thick and none of the seven floors had an opening to the outside that's not something you normally experience usually at some point there's light air and a view of the outside. so the first thing he did was to have one window into each wall full windows. ten this is what the bank looked like without windows fourteen construction workers spent nearly seven months cutting the openings into the to me to make concrete. holes and we took out two thousand tons of concrete for the openings roughly the

weight of two thousand trucks it was quite a challenge but that wasn't the only one. there was also the question of how to approach the whole id. of turning a building from the nazi era into a place to live and also not. to not see how does one leave a link to the past and leave that history visible while at the same time making it comfortable and cozy. the whole combination has to work somehow. just a case needs up to the newly built top floor. adding a penthouse also meant cutting through the bunkers fick concrete roof sorts of events and so now we're finally on top of the bunker there's a fantastic view from here the dining areas here and the living room which is absolutely flooded with light. on one side you have a cemetery with a sea of trees that merge into the english garden. with
