GEODOMAS · ARCHITECTURE IN NATURE
Closer to nature.
Closer to yourself.
Glass, light and a living roof. Home architecture that begins with your place in the world.
TURF HOMES / GEODOMASArchitectural concept
HOME AND LANDSCAPE
Fewer boundaries.
More room for life.
Panoramic glazing opens up the view. A residential core brings everyday life together. A green roof extends the landscape. TURF HOMES brings these three elements into one architectural idea.

02Residential core
03Landscape integration
ARCHITECTURAL DNA
The land shelters.
Glass opens the horizon.
TURF HOMES brings a protective timber volume, panoramic glass space and the landscape together as one architectural system.
Glass space
A lower transparent volume opens the horizon and daylight.
Stone and terrain
Courtyard walls, planted layers and landform shape the approach and shelter.
Site-led orientation
Views, wind, drainage and privacy are considered together.
The direction draws on the 2018–2025 ARCTIC architectural lineage. The geometry and structure of each current project are verified for its specific site.
01 / THE COLLECTION
A scale that fits your life.
One home, two connected spaces or a vision for a whole community.

03ROOM TO GROW
Nature Community
A group of homes connected by a shared architectural language, paths and common spaces. The development scenario responds to the site.
Discuss this model* Areas are indicative. Images show architectural concepts; final geometry, layout and specification are agreed for each project.
THE COLLECTION STARTS HERE
TURF BASE
The most accessible route into TURF HOUSES architecture: a compact dark-timber home with a panoramic glass room. In the first stage, the roof keeps its clean dark finish, while the insulation and waterproofing system is designed to allow a green roof to be added later.
Discuss TURF BASE
Base stage
A fully insulated and waterproofed roof with finished dark cladding makes the home ready for immediate use.
Prepared to evolve
The structural scheme and roof details are defined for each project, allowing for the future additional green-roof load.
TURF upgrade
Protective, drainage, substrate and planting layers can be added later without changing the home’s architectural direction.
02 / ARCHITECTURE
One idea.
Two expressions.
The exterior direction responds to the site, its surroundings and the character of your project.
TURF / Green roof
A natural silhouette in the landscape. Green roof layers and water management are designed as one complete system.
MODERN / Ventilated façade
Defined lines and a choice of finishes: timber, composite or HPL. Materials and construction details are selected during design.
TURF TWIN / TWO CONNECTED SPACES
Together.
With room for yourself.
Two volumes offer another way to organise daily life: shared living apart from rest, family space apart from guest space. A central connection brings the architecture together, while the layout takes shape around you.
TWIN can also operate as a paired hospitality unit, combining separate privacy with one central connection.
Discuss the TWIN model
01
Connection and privacy
Living, sleeping or guest areas, arranged around your chosen programme.
02
One architectural whole
Two volumes, a central connection and a shared relationship with the setting.
03 / LIFE INSIDE
Light becomes
part of home.
The interior concept brings together open living spaces, warm materials and views outside. Kitchen, living and sleeping areas are planned around your chosen model.
- Panoramic living space
- An individual interior layout
- Project-specific materials and finishes
WAYS OF LIVING
One light. Different spaces.
Interior concepts; layout and scale are refined during design.
An open living room and loft

04 / NATURE COMMUNITY
A place you want
to return to.
From the first homes to a coherent setting for holidays or everyday life. We begin with the site, infrastructure and a clear development phase.
Discuss a community1–2 homes
An initial phase to explore the site and concept.
5–10 homes
A small group of homes with shared space.
10–30+ homes
A phased vision for a residential or hospitality development.
RESORT DEVELOPMENT
We prepare more than houses.
We prepare a resort system.
TURF HOUSES can become a single retreat, a paired TWIN hotel unit or a settlement that grows in phases. We organise the model mix, shared spaces, guest movement and technical delivery as one operating system.
01 / TURF TWIN
TWIN for resorts
Two independent accommodation volumes can share a central entrance or service core. The room programme, privacy and technical zones are adapted to the operator’s model.
- 012 independent accommodation volumes
- 021 central entrance / service connection
- 03Retreat, family or hotel interior programme
Masterplan
Site analysis, model mix, privacy, views, access, shared spaces and a phased development plan.
- Site and terrain analysis
- Model and shared-space layout
- Privacy, view and guest-flow logic
- Phasing and first construction-stage plan
Technical adaptation
Site wind, snow, ground and comfort data become a coordinated brief for structure, foundations and building services.
- Design-load schedule
- Foundation reactions and anchoring brief
- Envelope, thermal, ventilation and drainage direction
- Coordination package for local designers
Prototype pair
The first TWIN pair or single-model prototype verifies assembly, airtightness, thermal performance, installation and operational solutions.
- One model or one TWIN pair
- Factory trial assembly
- Air- and water-test plan
- Thermal, privacy and installation verification
Series rollout
After prototype approval, we prepare repeatable production, phased delivery, installation sequencing, spare components and maintenance logic.
- Production batches and quality control
- Packing, transport and delivery plan
- Phased installation sequence
- Spare-component and operation package
GEODOMAS / RESORT DELIVERY
Possible scopes
- Concept and technical package
- Production and delivery
- Installation supervision or team
Local foundations, utilities and permits are coordinated with the client’s designers and contractors.

ARCTIC RESORT
TURF HOUSES · GEODOMAS
ICELANDIC-STYLE TURF HOMES
Inspired by Iceland.
For open plains.
An Icelandic-style TURF home concept for open, windswept plains. A turf-covered volume, stone courtyard walls and a glazed space form one architectural whole. The orientation and structural design are tailored to the terrain and wind conditions of each site.
A glazed courtyard framed by stone
A turf-covered home in an open landscape
Architectural concepts. Resistance to wind loads is substantiated by structural calculations for the specific project.
ARCTIC ORIGINS
From terrain.
To horizon.
Three historic ARCTIC concept views reveal the principle that endured: architecture begins by reading the place — land, wind, view and sky.
Lineage imagery · 2018–2019 concepts, not a technical specification of a current model.

Historically published ARCTIC visuals explain the product's architectural lineage. Current models, areas and structures are defined separately.
NEW ARCTIC RESORT MODEL
TURF HORIZON
A broader, lower interpretation of the TURF house for open plains. The planted volume shelters a private living core, while a panoramic glass wing opens towards the horizon.
Discuss TURF HORIZON
Broader living core
The asymmetric timber volume allows a more flexible arrangement of living and retreat spaces.
Low panoramic glass room
The winter garden becomes a luminous everyday space while preserving a low building silhouette.
Sheltered entrance court
Stone walls create a windbreak and a clear transition from the open plain into the home.

Before we talk
Are these photographs of completed homes?
This page presents architectural visualisations. They describe a design direction; the final layout, proportions and materials are established for each project.
Can a home be designed for permanent living?
Permanent living is one possible project brief. Structural, thermal and engineering choices are made for the location and intended use.
How are pricing and specifications determined?
We prepare a proposal around the model, site, scope and level of finish. Design, manufacturing and installation are agreed individually.
What should I include in my first enquiry?
Tell us the location, intended use and model of interest. If available, add a link to site information and your preferred timeframe.
