Holiday home

A summerhouse in the southern region of Iceland, surrounded by a magnificent, vast, panoramic view.
The house is composed by two different volumes. The lower volume, rendered in exposed concrete, hosts guest bedrooms as well as shedding the family car. The higher volume, rendered in untreated larch, consists of a living room, kitchen area, a master bedroom and an outdoor shower. The main focus of the living room is to celebrate the magnificent view over the river Brúará, mountain Vörðufell to the south, the great mountain range of Fagridalur and Mosfell to the west as well as Klukkutindar and even Þórisjökull glacier to the north.

Add-on window system is used in the larger volumes to further enhance the view from the living room.
Narrow, horizontal, windows detach the volumes from each other letting in a very nice morning light to the foyer.
