5 key facts about this project
## Overview
The Iceland Trekking Cabins project, titled "Cubetto," is strategically located in the stunning landscapes of Iceland. This initiative aims to provide comfortable accommodations for trekkers while prioritizing ecological sensitivity and the integration of advanced technologies. Emphasizing a modern aesthetic, the design aligns with principles of environmental stewardship and innovative construction methods, responding to the challenges posed by Iceland's unique climate.
## Visual Identity and Material Efficiency
The cabins feature facades in vibrant hues, drawing inspiration from the colors of the Icelandic flag, thereby creating a visual dialogue with the local environment. The selection of materials focuses on sustainability and durability; components such as cellular glass panels, sheep's wool insulation, and galvanized steel not only enhance environmental performance but also contribute to the overall resilience of the structure against harsh weather conditions.
## Structural Integrity and Functional Design
The architectural structure utilizes a corrosion-resistant steel framework engineered to endure seismic activity and extreme wind loads typical in the region. Elevated on screw piles, the design minimizes ground disruption while optimizing thermal regulation. Internally, the cabins can accommodate up to ten individuals, offering private sleeping areas and communal spaces, which enhance flexibility for various group sizes. To adapt to modern needs, each cabin includes Wi-Fi access, ensuring connectivity while maintaining an ecological footprint.
