The Cave

Arkís Architects

The Visitor Center is a wooden cabin that provides support to the famous Vatnshellir cave.
An 8000 year old lava tube created by a volcanic eruption from a nearby crater.

Located at the foothill of the iconic Snæfellsjökull volcano, this laminated wooden building emerges from the lava field as a standalone structure. Its asymmetrical shapes and sharp angles somewhat fit with the surrounding landscape.
