For the past several weeks, the Chaminade Environmental + Interior Design majors were busy conceptualizing an eco-friendly space that would include a brewery, caf\u00e9 snack bar, souvenir shop and full-service day spa facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI asked them if they wanted to enter the competition, and they jumped at the chance,\u201d says associate professor of Arts and Design Junghwa Suh, D.Arch, of the four students in her EID 384 class that focuses on sustainability in design. \u201cIt\u2019s really impressive what they\u2019ve been able to come up with in such a short amount of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall competition was to replace an existing building on the property of the Sel Hotel, a family-run establishment, which is situated right in the Lake Myvatn area next to the legendary Skutustaoagigar craters, offering a prime location for a groundbreaking multi-purpose facility. &nbsp;The competition sought to create a landmark destination that reflects the spirit of the region and provides an unforgettable experience for both tourists and locals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093541\/EID-Students-Selfie_cn1_500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Katherine Liu \u201926, Farrah Dinh \u201925, Jazlynne Williamson \u201925, Soraya Ortiz \u201925 and Dr. Junghwa Suh take a selfie before submitting their final design concept to the Iceland Beer Spa International Architecture Competition.\" class=\"wp-image-57637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093541\/EID-Students-Selfie_cn1_500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093541\/EID-Students-Selfie_cn1_500x333-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Katherine Liu \u201926, Farrah Dinh \u201925, Jazlynne Williamson \u201925, Soraya Ortiz \u201925 and Dr. Junghwa Suh take a selfie before submitting their final design concept to the Iceland Beer Spa International Architecture Competition.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Suh informed us that during her trip to Iceland, a tour guide explained how horses huddle and have formations to maintain warmth,\u201d explains Liu, who initially wanted to pursue a degree in industrial engineering. &#8220;We wanted to integrate this idea into our design somehow since Icelandic culture values horses a great deal, and our project was strongly based off of organic forms and the idea of &#8216;life emulating nature.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The showers and bathrooms, for example, represent a cell or ecosystem within the organic crater shape of the building,&#8221; Liu adds. &#8220;Since we needed a modular element in our design, we decided to have our terrace furniture mimic the horse formations, showing the different groupings, which could be easily rearranged.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to organizers, the competition was a rare opportunity to contribute to the evolution of hospitality and wellness in one of Iceland&#8217;s most enchanting regions. Designs had to be innovative and environmentally sensitive with the potential of making a lasting impact on the Myvatn Lake area and the world of architecture and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis was the first time that Chaminade design students entered an international competition of this magnitude,\u201d Suh says. \u201cThey\u2019ve worked really hard and I\u2019m proud of the final presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Praising Dinh, Williamson and Ortiz for their contributions, Liu says there was a lot of trust among them. \u201cJaz even let me take her laptop home because mine didn\u2019t have some of the functions I needed to edit the design,\u201d adds Liu, a student representative with the American Society of Interior Designers and a former intern with G70, a Honolulu architecture firm. \u201cI even had her remotely take over my computer so we could finish this project on time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finished design, \u201cDa Crater Spa\u2019t\u201d creates a cohesive, functional and inviting space that caters to the various needs of guests. More importantly, the final product harmoniously incorporates the environs of Lake Myvatn, featuring basalt lava rock, natural ventilation, and eco-friendly finishes and materials that balance the serene beauty of the environment with the functional requirements of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey were super motivated and ambitious,\u201d Suh says. \u201cFor three juniors and one sophomore, the level of their work is beyond impressive, and I hope they win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Liu, Dinh, Williamson and Ortiz acknowledge it\u2019s going to be a difficult path. The competition, after all, is open to international licensed architects and designers who have years of experience in their respective fields. Still, the four Siverswords remain optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we win, we get to go to Iceland,\u201d says Liu who plans on participating in a study abroad program in Florence, Italy next year. \u201cAfter completing this project, my biggest takeaway was understanding the balance of adhering to a competition project timeline while continuously evolving design concepts through rigorous collaborative efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katherine Liu \u201926, Farrah Dinh \u201925, Jazlynne Williamson \u201925 and Soraya Ortiz \u201925 submitted their final design concept to the Iceland Beer Spa International Architecture Competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57638,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160,147,16,112,115],"tags":[49,27,214],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800.jpg",1600,800,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800-300x150.jpg",300,150,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800-768x384.jpg",768,384,true],"large":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800-1024x512.jpg",1024,512,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800-1536x768.jpg",1536,768,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800.jpg",1600,800,false],"gb-block-post-grid-landscape":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800-600x400.jpg",600,400,true],"gb-block-post-grid-square":["https:\/\/assets.chaminade.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/06093544\/EID-Students_cn-header_1600x800-600x600.jpg",600,600,true]},"post_excerpt_stackable":"<p>Katherine Liu \u201926, Farrah Dinh \u201925, Jazlynne Williamson \u201925 and Soraya Ortiz \u201925 submitted their final design concept to the Iceland Beer Spa International Architecture Competition.<\/p>\n","category_list":"<a href=\"https:\/\/chaminade.edu\/category\/cifal-honolulu\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CIFAL Honolulu<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/chaminade.edu\/category\/homepage\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Homepage<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/chaminade.edu\/category\/humanities-arts-design\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Humanities, Arts &amp;
