Architecture in Motion, Inspired by Tradition

Located in the snow-covered landscape of the Mývatn region, Iceland, Three Motions is a contemporary ski cabin conceived for an architectural design competition. Inspired by the traditional Icelandic longhouse, the project reinterprets its elongated form through a series of geometric transformations, resulting in three distinct yet interconnected volumes. Each volume serves a specific function, accommodating essential skiing facilities, hospitality spaces, and operational services. Through carefully calculated rotations, the composition creates a dynamic architectural expression that captures the sense of movement inherent in skiing while opening new perspectives toward the surrounding landscape.
