Competition 'Abandoned Airport'. Observation Points

Project

The observation platforms are designed to highlight the beauty of Iceland's wilderness. They have a distinctive silhouette reminiscent of a tent. The observation points are clad in durable panels that mimic the texture of wood and are carefully fitted together to resemble the texture of bird feathers, echoing the shades of the black sands of the coast. They provide shelter and appear organic. The entire structure relies on a lightweight yet sturdy Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) system, ensuring resilience to harsh northern weather conditions. The observation points, located at characteristic viewpoints of the terrain, serve as cozy refuges, transforming simple observation into a small wonder.
