Set amidst the dramatic and remote landscapes of Iceland, this architectural project proposes a landmark ski resort that stands as a modern beacon in the snow-covered wilderness. Designed to evoke the presence of a lighthouse, the structure becomes an orienting figure in the vast terrain—visible from a distance and iconic in form

The resort features a bold pyramidal silhouette, rising from the ground like a crystalline shard emerging from the ice. Its distinctive geometry, combined with transparent and translucent materials—glass, plexiglass, and brushed steel—creates a striking visual contrast against the rugged surroundings, particularly under the changing Icelandic light

The architecture expresses a balance between strength and lightness: the steel frame anchors the structure, while layered glass and plexi surfaces reflect the sky, snow, and northern lights. At night, the building glows softly, reinforcing its role as a contemporary architectural landmark

Inside, the resort offers panoramic lounges, thermal spa areas, and elevated viewing platforms, creating immersive experiences that connect visitors with the awe-inspiring natural environment. Public and private zones are arranged vertically, with circulation drawing guests upward toward 360° mountain views

This project reimagines the ski resort as a cultural and spatial experience, where modern design, elemental materials, and Iceland’s raw beauty converge in an unforgettable way
