Denmark-based architect KCAP has revealed its master plan for the future of Reykjavik鈥檚 Keflavik Airport in Iceland. Commissioned by the Keflavik Airport Development Company (Kadeco), the project plan aims to create a hub for the aviation, energy, and technology sectors.

As part of the plan, A冒algata will be formed into a mixed-use district, combining community, residential and research and design programs.

On the southern edge of the airport, 脕sbr煤 is thought to become a campus-like area which includes aviation, research, and residential which KCAP likens to 鈥渁 modern take on the cosy, lively village鈥�.

North of Reykjanesb忙r, work in Helguv铆k will consist of converting the existing port and manufacturing infrastructures to create a circular-economy environment comprising a construction hub.

Anouk Kuitenbrouwer, a partner at KCAP, says, that 鈥渨orking on the spatial and economic master plan over the past year has been an incredible journey. We hope that the joy and inspiration we have experienced in collaborating as a team and with the many stakeholders translated into a robust plan for this ambitious long-term endeavour.鈥�

In addition to KCAP, the development team included engineer WSP, consulting engineer Buro Happold, landscape architect Felixx, mobility consultant Mic-Hub, energy specialist VSO Consulting, project manager Buck Consultants International, urban planning consultant Maurits Schaafsma, and designer Kanon Arkitektar.
