Ellen Smith — November 16, 2017 — Art & Design
Iceland's famously diverse landscape provides travelers with the perfect opportunity for a unique adventure-based experience, which is why the Stockholm-based company, Utopia Arkitekter, has designed bright blue shelters, which can be installed along Iceland's trekking trails.
The off-grid shelters can be assembled in less than three days and take the form of a traditional tent shape, to offer travelers an authentic and familiar experience. Each structure can accommodate 15 people and is comprised of four rooms, including two bedrooms a kitchen and a first aid room in the event of an emergency. The cabins let in ample natural light, and provide an amazing opportunity for guests to marvel at the scenery.
These popup shelters can serve as temporary living spaces for travelers, that have a minimal impact on Iceland's scenic landscape.
