SCANDINAVIAN DOMES JOURNAL · THE PILOTS 03
After several years of development at Granberget, the time had come. The first pilot dome would leave our workshop and be built above the tree line in Hemavan. It took two trips, a sleepless night and our first real experience of what happens when a Scandinavian Dome meets reality.

Ten days, two trips to Hemavan and a sleepless night. The first dome in the Scandinavian Domes Pilot Programme now stands at Hemavan Viewpoint—above the tree line in the mountains of northern Sweden.

Ten days ago, we left Granberget with a trailer full of parts for the first installation in the Scandinavian Domes Pilot Programme 2026–2027. Our destination was Hemavan Viewpoint, high above the tree line with views across the mountains around Hemavan.

We had waited a long time for this moment. For several years, we had designed, calculated, built and tested our domes at home in Granberget. There, we could start again, make changes and improve things at our own pace. Now, for the first time, a Scandinavian Dome would leave our development setting and be built at a real pilot site.

Things did not go quite as planned. We could not drive all the way up to Hemavan Viewpoint, so we had to reload all the materials on the plateau by Restaurant Björk and arrange transport for the final stretch up the mountain. With tremendous help from the team at Hemavan Alpint, we finally got everything in place and began building shortly after six on Wednesday evening.

We were looking for three pilot customers. When almost a hundred expressions of interest arrived, we encountered almost a hundred ideas about what a dome could be. After many interviews, difficult decisions and several very strong candidates, three quite different pilot sites began to take shape.

After several years of prototypes and tests at Granberget, we faced the next step. But instead of moving straight from development to sales, we chose to take another year. Three domes would leave our own environment and meet the real world—in three different places with three pilot customers.

During the summer of 2026, we selected three pilot partners from almost 100 applications from Sweden and abroad. The pilot year has now begun with installations in Hemavan, Åre and Borgafjäll.

Together with our pilot partners, we will continue refining every aspect of Scandinavian Domes over the coming year – from materials and craftsmanship to logistics, installation and long-term durability – ahead of our broader market launch in 2027.

Under sommaren 2026 valde vi ut tre pilotkunder bland närmare 100 intresseanmälningar från Sverige och andra länder. Pilotåret har nu inletts med installationer i Hemavan, Åre och Borgafjäll.

Tillsammans med våra pilotkunder kommer vi under det kommande året att vidareutveckla varje del av Scandinavian Domes – från materialval och hantverk till logistik, installation och långsiktig hållbarhet – inför den bredare marknadslanseringen 2027.
