The Tube House, Pond Inlet

This striking cylindrical structure in Pond Inlet stands out for its unconventional Arctic design. Elevated on piles to protect the permafrost, and clad in corrugated metal, it reflects the ingenuity required to build in extreme northern conditions.

 

The circular front opening and balcony suggest a blend of functionality and creativity, possibly serving as a residence or specialized facility. Its presence adds architectural character to the community and highlights the adaptability of construction in Nunavut’s remote environment.
