What makes for a good project-based housing initiative?

CASE: First Camp Arcus in Luleå: more than just a place to stay when you’re working on a project. Working on a project rarely means luxurious conditions. Long days at work, early mornings, and evenings that need to be enough time to recover. The choice of accommodations plays a bigger role than many people realize.

First Camp Arcus is beautifully situated in the heart of the business corridor, by the sea in Karlsvik, close to downtown Luleå and the airport. For anyone working along the Norrland coast—on projects in Luleå, Murjek, or Haparanda—it’s a strategically excellent location. It’s easy to get here, close to work, yet you still feel like you’re leaving work behind when you step inside.

A cabin isn't camping—it's a home for the duration of the project

Many people associate camping with tents and RVs. But First Camp Arcus currently offers 83 cabins, including 8 hotel-style cabins for those who want a little extra comfort. This fall, the selection will be expanded by an additional 10 cabins to meet the growing demand.

For the company’s employees who spend 100–200 nights a year away from home, it makes a big difference: a kitchen of their own, a living room to relax in, and the chance to share a cabin with a colleague. It’s a place to stay that truly sets the stage for relaxation—not just a bed to sleep in.

The Benefits of Staying in a Cabin During a Project

There are good reasons why more and more project-based companies are choosing vacation homes over hotels when their staff need to stay in the same location for an extended period. With access to their own kitchen, employees can cook their own meals, save money, and eat better. The living room provides a social space after work and is a place to unwind and relax, rather than sitting alone in a small hotel room. And the price per night is often more affordable than a hotel, especially for longer stays.

For Avisita and our clients in the construction, civil engineering, and infrastructure sectors, cabin accommodations have long been a popular choice, and First Camp Arcus in Luleå is one of the resorts we return to time and time again.

Restaurant Nomad and Hilla for Groups and Conferences

In addition to accommodations, First Camp Arcus offers a full range of services for those who want to combine a project with team-building activities or a wrap-up event. Restaurant Nomad is the gastropub in the heart of the resort, where ingredients from northern Sweden meet new flavors and creative ideas, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in a relaxed bistro setting. Perfect for a group dinner meeting or a wrap-up evening with the team.

Hilla is the facility’s event lavvu, located next to the river and the culturally and historically significant grounds in Karlsvik. Here, guests gather around the fire—a unique setting for meetings, conferences, and shared experiences that leave a lasting impression.
