Sky Lagoon

WHEN SEA AND SKY UNITE
On the outskirts of Kópavogur, in the middle of the metropolitan region of Reykjavik, Sky Lagoon - a thermal and wellness oasis built from scratch with an infinity pool where ""sea and sky unite"" - is located. The design of the facility had to blend in with the breathtaking landscape.
From the geothermal water and prime location, the seven-step bathing ritual to the many and varied design decisions, every detail of the Sky Lagoon has been carefully thought through.

TRADITION MEETS MODERN
The peat wall (Klömbruhleðsla) and the turf house (Torfbæir) form the outer frame. The wall was built in the classical from heavy marsh turf and peat processed into tiles.
In order to carry this overall concept further in the interior and at the same time modern demands on comfort, durability, resilience and ease of cleaning, the choice of materials and decisions for the materials for the furniture and interior fittings were selected and was pursued just as purposefully.
Special attention was paid to the changing and showers, as these are the most important areas between the individual steps of the bathing ritual and at the end of it interface with public traffic.

THE PERFECT PLACE TO RELAX
The decision was made to use Duropal HPL Compact for the assembly and VIP changing rooms. The compact laminate can be used without additional substrate material and fulfils all the requirements for this challenging area of application.
HPL Compact is moisture-resistant and low-swelling, as well as being particularly impact-resistant and easy to clean. In addition, the surface is antimicrobial and has a positive influence on the room climate - Duropal HPL Compact is particularly low in emissions and meets the requirements of the Blue Angel, RAL UZ 76.
In terms of décor, the decision was made in favour of décor R20038 Natural Chalet Oak in the Rustic surface texture. Thanks to its natural-rustic finish with planked flowers and individual branches and knots the unobtrusive, monochrome oak seamlessly continues the traditional style to the interior.
At the beginning of April 2021, the Sky Lagoon opened its doors and offered a spectacular natural spectacle. Shortly before the completion of the Fagradalsfjall erupted in the south of the island - about 30 km away from the Sky Lagoon - and made it possible to observe the impressive play of the two opposing elements of water and fire.
