The winning ideas for a Thermal Springs Guest House in Northern Iceland

The Iceland Thermal Springs Guest House architecture competition sought designs for an exclusive guest house for the Vogafjós Farm Resort, a family-owned guest home located on the eastern coast of Lake Mývatn in Northern Iceland.

The design had to feature 8-10 guest rooms that would each offers views of the surrounding Iceland landscape and the Aurora Borealis, and had to emphasize sustainability and cost-effectiveness in building techniques. 

After evaluating all the submissions, the jury selected three prize winners, a BB Student Award winner, a BB Green Prize Award winner, and six Honorable Mentions. All the winning designs will be considered for the construction of the guest house.
