When you first arrive at Sky Lagoon, you notice the natural elements on the building’s exterior. Sustainability is an important mission here. The design is a modern interpretation of traditional Icelandic turf houses, which have been used since the 9th century for their insulation and protection from harsh weather. The Sky Lagoon's Turf House utilizes a herringbone pattern of turf tiles, a traditional Icelandic building technique, and is designed to celebrate Icelandic bathing culture and history.
