ICELAND VOLCANIC
ARCHITECTURE PROJECTS
Design a Retreat for The Blind and Volcanic Visitor Centre using Iceland's natural thermal waters.
For those who experience vision loss, it can be easy to retreat from the world, to stay indoors and avoid unpredictable surroundings.
This is an opportunity to explore your creativity and challenge your design skills with an architectural experience that provides a sensory journey and connects those experiencing vision loss to the dramatic setting of Iceland's Black Beaches.

Retreat for the Blind Iceland
Challenge: to design a partly subterranean retreat to connect people with visual impairments with the sensory environment of Reynisfjara Beach, Iceland.
Our brief asks for an innovative and creative design focusing on the user experience and connection to the surrounding nature and wildlife with a minimal environmental impact. The partly subterranean structure will give blind and visually impaired people a unique experience with sensory adventures and opportunity to relax and feel at peace. The retreat should be connected to the surroundings through the choice of design and materiality.
Spa and Art facilities will make use of the natural amenities this site has to offer with thermal and glacial waters, ice, black rock and sand.
This project will be accompanied by a written description of the journey through your proposal which can be enjoyed by blind and visually impaired people.
All projects will be published and promoted across our global platforms.
