Summerhouses in Stykkishólmur

The building is made up of two volumes. The larger, which holds the entry, kitchen, dining/living room, is clad in western red cedar, and the other housing the private functions, bedrooms and bathroom, is clad in corrugated aluminium. A wooden veranda connects the two volumes to the south, whilst the sheltered entry is to the north.

The choice of material and the development of detail is aimed at providing a structure which is in its expression tight and precise in its expression, contrasting with the unspoilt nature on site, and facilitating a high quality, yet economical mode of fabrication. The interior is birch plywood, painted gypsum board, on wooden frame, and oak flooring.

The building is pre-fabricated in two parts off site in a shipbuilders yard during the winter (low season), with final assembly occurring on site.
