5 key facts about this project
### Project Overview
"Sequence Scape" is situated near Lake Myvatn in Iceland, combining spa and hotel facilities with opportunities for outdoor recreation. The design aims to create harmonious connections between built environments and the natural landscape, facilitating leisure and relaxation through a well-integrated spatial strategy.
### Architectural Form and Materiality
The project's architectural expression features curvilinear facades and expansive glass surfaces that respond to the surrounding terrain, fostering a dynamic relationship with the landscape. Extensive use of glass enhances natural light penetration and offers expansive views, while exposed structural steel contributes to both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Warm wood finishes provide a welcoming atmosphere, resonating with the natural context.
### Circulation and Sustainability
Circulation throughout the site is thoughtfully designed to ensure easy navigation between key areas, including the hotel, spa, and interconnected outdoor trails. Clear signage supports user orientation and engagement with the environment. The project also integrates sustainable design features, such as greywater reuse systems and green roofing, reflecting a commitment to minimizing environmental impact while enhancing the overall user experience.
The strategic placement of the building frames views of Lake Myvatn and preserves the beauty of the surrounding landscape, further encouraging active engagement with the natural setting.
