Qulleq

The golden sunrise will be their new Qulleq.

In an uncertain future, a family moves from Greenland to Stykkishólm.

There she shapes a new life, a new shelter, her own world.

The building is a journey, from sea level up to the cliff,

from the operation of skin coats to the shelter of the home and daily life.

The spaces are shaped by the view, the sun's passage and the difference in height of the place.

In the heart of the home is the kitchen, where togetherness becomes light.

Stories are told there, fish are processed and daily life is intertwined with nature.

There lives Qulleq, a symbol of warmth, togetherness and hope.

The golden path of the sun becomes their new Qulleq.

In an uncertain future, a family moves from Greenland to Stykkishólmur.

There, they begin anew, shaping a life, a shelter, a home of their own.

The building becomes a journey: from the sea's edge to the rocky heights,

from guiding kayaks through coastal waters to finding refuge in the routines of daily life.

The spaces are carried by the view, the suns’ movement, and the shifting territory.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen, where togetyness becomes light.

It's where stories are shared, fish is prepared, and life entwines with nature.

This is where Qulleq lives, a symbol of warmth, connection and hope.
