Located beside the Húsavík lighthouse on a narrow plateau at the edge of a 40-metre-high cliff, the project is deliberately restrained, allowing the surrounding landscape and horizon to define the experience. The building is oriented toward expansive views across Skjálfandi Bay, creating a setting for contemplating the ocean, surrounding mountains, shifting weather, and the rich bird and marine life, including puffins and whales. Húsavík’s position near the Arctic Circle brings pronounced seasonal variation.

In summer, extended daylight culminates in the midnight sun, when the sun barely dips below the horizon before rising again. The infinity-edge pools are carefully positioned to heighten this condition, visually merging with the sea and intensifying the experience of light and horizon.

The building is partially embedded into the terrain, allowing the landscape to continue seamlessly across the roof and minimizing its visual presence. Textured concrete surfaces reference the rugged character of the cliff, grounding the architecture in its immediate context while ensuring durability in the exposed coastal environment.

Existing pedestrian paths are retained and extended to guide movement through the site, integrating the development into established circulation patterns. Future phases include adapting the lighthouse for visitor access and introducing a viewing platform extending over the cliff.

The baths are supplied with geothermal seawater drawn from deep below ground at temperatures of 38–40°C (100–104°F) and is considered to have great health benefits. Rather than relying on chemical treatment, the system uses a continuous flow of fresh water to maintain cleanliness. Excess water overflows from the pools, returning via a stream down the cliff and back into the ocean, completing a natural cycle.
