A hut on the volcano: the new Icelandic gimmick
We know, in the last year, Real estate has been wanted more than ever. To the point of creating innovations that often left us speechless.In 2020, in fact, the need emerged to create decidedly more eco-sustainable, larger structures, without neglecting the most requested comforts. The desire to be in contact with nature was manifested above all after the long months of lockdown that characterized most of the states of the world.
This is why there has been no shortage of exceptional cases of structures created from scratch, to satisfy precisely this need. Direct contact with the outside world, which for years was considered an element of secondary importance, today becomes predominant in the process of choosing a property. What if we told you that in Iceland it is possible to have a house surrounded by lava formations? Yes, we at Realigro have found this really '' hot '' news for you. If you are curious to know more, keep reading the next lines!
The announcement is clear: only for the most adventurous. No wonder this is a fundamental requirement to be able to take advantage of Aska. The first of a series of totally eco-friendly huts designed around Lake Mývatn, near the Hverfjall volcano.
A decidedly inhospitable area, which we probably would never have identified as the perfect place to spend a holiday. Well, this prefab hut is located more than six hours from the Icelandic capital, inside a city populated by only 300 inhabitants. A good bet for local tourism, which has decided to invest in the most extreme real estate. Precisely, the one in full contact with nature. But now let's see how this particular hut is structured. Overall it measures 21 square meters and, once inside, it is possible to perceive how much the light pine cladding is essential to convey a feeling of light, warmth and hospitality. A choice, the one used, which has very ancient Japanese origins (we are talking about the shou sugi ban technique, which is based on the creation of soft contrasts through the use of natural material coverings).
The entire structure includes a double bedroom, a bathroom and an open kitchen, the latter connected directly to a magnificent terrace. Although the size of the house is extremely small, the same cannot be said of the very high ceiling; which generates a feeling of comfort and spaciousness. Even the custom designed furniture, as well as completing the space, faithfully recall the natural environment within which the hut is inserted.
Last but not least the roof, whose peculiarity is to be able to blend completely with the rest of the landscape, rich in vegetation. Furthermore, the large windows allow everything that, in the last year, has been most requested by potential investors: a direct and perennial contact with the external environment. A truly brilliant project, which has been particularly successful, given the numerous bookings by tourists who want to visit the area and at the same time live a totally different experience than usual.
And you, would you ever go on vacation in a hut a stone's throw from a crater?
