Iceland Thermal Springs Guest House now is over!


CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Iceland Thermal Springs Guest House, international Architecture Competition organized by Bee Breeders, has been recently opened for entries tasking participants to create an exclusive guest house.


In a partnership with the Vogafjós Farm Resort, the Iceland Thermal Springs Guest House architecture competition tasking participants to create an exclusive guest house. Competition participants are asked to create an exclusive guest house with 8 - 10 guest rooms, each of which would incorporate views of the natural surroundings and the Aurora Borealis.

Iceland is a small Nordic island country situated between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. With a population of less than 333,000, it is the most sparsely populated country in Europe, with the majority of that population living in the capital city, Reykjavik, and the surrounding areas.
Iceland’s thermal springs are a popular tourist attraction as well as a traditional pastime for locals. Often located in remote locations across the nordic island, these springs are an idyllic rest stop for those visiting Iceland. The Iceland Thermal Springs Guest House architecture competition, in a partnership with the Vogafjós Farm Resort, is searching for designs for an extension to their current property.
Guidelines:

Competition participants are tasked with creating an exclusive guest house addition to the resort that would have the capability of functioning as a separate facility in the case of high-profile or celebrity guests visiting. The guest house would need to take full advantage of the stunning views of Iceland’s natural landscape and the frequently-occurring Aurora Borealis.

The new guest house would typically operate as part of the original resort, however in the case of high-profile and celebrity guests there should an element of privacy and exclusivity, and the new addition should be able to function as an independent complex. These should therefore be luxury rooms which take full advantage of Iceland’s remarkable scenery. The complex should include a common kitchen area, living room, and an outdoor hot tub.

The competition site is located a short distance from the two existing guest houses at the Vogafjós Farm Resort, just north of the resort’s famous Cow Café. The competition site is also located near several natural features that are popular tourist attractions, including Lake Mývatn, Mývatn Nature Baths, Mývatn Geothermal Area, and Grjótagjá Cave.
With views of lava rocks and birch trees set against the stark surroundings, it makes the perfect location to spot the northern lights and visit the nearby geothermal hot springs that Iceland is famous for.
