Open Landscape Casa G by Gudmundur Jonsson

The concept of Casa G dominated on reading and feedback to the large view of landscape situation and view differences distinctively in each direction. On south view with sea and islands, triangular mountain in north, glacier in east and towards west the river and canyon.






Those elements are the creator of the project, the transitions between the landscape views giving the entrance from the north and the curved plan giving a vitalized focus towards the seaside in south. When turning back the north view towards the mountain is as well enhanced with the widening view due to the fan-shape of the tilting wooden wall, being a mediator between the northern and southern landscape characteristic. The tilting is an answer and an interpretation of the glacier towards east, they are communicating and the only and huge window in that wall is creating “a painting” of the glacier experienced from the interior. The guest-wing of the building stretches to the canyon and the river towards west. Thus the building concept is a composition and dialogue of views and experiences of the various nature at site.
