NATIONAL PARK CENTER

NATIONAL PARK CENTER (HELLISSANDUR, ICELAND)


We participated in the competition for a new national park center at Hellissandur on the Snæfellsnes peninsula on the west coast of Iceland in june 2006.

The building is designed to appear as a delicate foreign object landed in the rough lava landscape. Its shape creates a sheltered sloping courtyard opening up to the south and the Snæfellsjøkull glacier, away from the prevailing winds from the nearby coast. From this sheltered space you enter the building.

A compact shape with low volume and minimized facade surface was main strategies towards fulfilling sustainability required in the competition brief. In essence - architecture created by small, but effective adjustments to the site. Among the jury comments were "Clear concept and well working plan layout".

GOLF CLUB "KJÖLUR"

CLUBHOUSE FOR THE KJÖLUR GOLF CLUB (MOSFELLSBÆR, ICELAND)

Our first competition was a new clubhouse for the Kjölur Golf Club in Mosfellsbær, just outside Reykjavik. 12 proposals were submitted for evaluation in march 2006. The golf course is set in a sloping terrain towards the sea, and the club house site include a very characteristic pair of cliffs in the sloping fields.

Our project sits in the terrain and opens up for the entry to the golf course between the cliffs - the grassy fields becoming the roof of the building (with a putting green) and the cliff itself being reenterpreted as a basalt stone fasade, with glass cracks letting light into the inner spaces of the club house.
