Ski Slope
Location:
Mývatn
, Iceland2024
Ski Slope does not simply sit within the Icelandic landscape
but is a continuation of it. The design mimics the sweeping forms of the
surrounding mountains and caldera, allowing the building to blend seamlessly
into its environment. It is a structure made to enhance the beauty of the
region, while simultaneously becoming a beacon for visitors. It’s as much a
cabin for skiers as it is a place for travelers to stop and revel at the
landscape and northern lights.
On the main floor, skiers find a cosy retreat, while the
roof is transformed into a publicly accessible viewing platform. This space
invites visitors to ascend and immerse themselves in the panoramic vistas of
the majestic landscape. The result is a building that is as much a part of the
terrain as the rocks and grass, offering a harmonious fusion of natural beauty,
sustainable design, and cultural resonance.
