Reykjahlíð, Iceland
Taking inspiration from the looming dormant volcano, the proposed design centers around a compression ring roof structure that supports leaning turf-bearing panels anchored at the base by the surrounding stone mass, paying homage to the traditional turf house typology of Iceland. An inner volcanic sanctuary offers year-round respite from the sparse, exposed landscape, with a geothermally heated portal, partial canopy, and a concave form designed to amplify natural light across the open concept spaces within.
