About
Overview
Gátt is a small pit-stop for hikers and a viewing pavilion for tourists in the valley of Bjarnarfjörður, on the west coast of Iceland. It was planned, designed and built with students at the Icelandic Academy of the Arts during 7 days in the spring of 2013. The location chosen for the pavilion is a stony slope, northwest of hotel Laugarholl, offering a full 360 degree view over the valley and towards the fjord in the distance.
The pavilion consists of two adjacent spaces providing protection against winds, connected by a wooden roof above and separated by a stone corridor stretching from the terrain on the backside and ending in a small fire-pit in front.
Local inhabitants have for several years been planning interventions to improve accessibility and wellness for tourists. This is the first one to be carried out.
