The project “The Red Mountain Resort”, designed for Festir ehf, has been awarded a Commendation in the Retail & Leisure category at the 2018 MIPIM/Architectural Review Future Project Awards.
Johannes Torpe says: “The Red Mountain Resort is our first full scale architectural project and to gain this level of international recognition makes me extremely happy and proud on behalf of my team.”
The jury says: “This resort promises a sensory escape into breathtaking Icelandic nature. Its architecture seduces visitors through an exploration of the interplay between nature and visitor.”
Ingibjörg Kristjánsdóttir, Owner Festir ehf. says: “The team, Birta Ólafsdóttir, Magnús Guðmundsson and myself, asked for a proposal inspired by the dramatic natural surroundings and the mystical folk culture of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, and a destination that could be the respite we al need from our daily routines. We think Johannes Torpe Studios really captured these elements and are happy that the jury agrees.“
The Red Mountain Resort is a proposal of a spa and wellness retreat that invite guests to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Learn more about the project on the studio’s website.
