Project Fjöruböðin
A future vision for Hauganes, where architecture, nature, and the ocean come together.
Fjöruböðin began as a simple idea, to make use of natural geothermal water flowing into the ocean. What started with a few seaside hot tubs has grown into a vision for a unique destination in North Iceland.
Located in the small fishing village of Hauganes, the project builds on the character of the place: open landscapes, quiet surroundings, and a close connection to the sea.
The future development aims to create a space where visitors can experience nature in a thoughtful and sustainable way, while preserving the simplicity that makes Hauganes special.
Holiday Homes
Hotel
The old road leading into Hauganes will be used as the main connection into the area. The traffic of tourists and guests of Fjöruböðin, the hotel, holiday homes and the campsite will be directed to this road and not through the urban area as is done today. The new district is based on services to tourists. Leisure centers, hotels, campsites and beach resorts reinforce each other and form a very strong and interesting destination in the North. A place that both domestic and foreign tourists, as well as the residents of Eyjafjörður, will come home to.
Car traffic will be minimized within the area. With the location of the parking lots and good footpaths and connections to them, it is guaranteed that it is possible to leave the car in the parking lot and go around the whole area from there, as everything is within walking distance, either to the Fjöruböðin area or into the urban area and down to the pier.
Thoughtfully planned
The development is guided by a masterplan that balances new facilities with the natural environment. Paths, buildings, and bathing areas are carefully placed to maintain open views and minimize impact on the landscape.
The goal is to create a destination that feels integrated, not imposed, where everything fits naturally into its surroundings.
