Studio BuaThe Guesthouse Nýp at Skarðsströnd is situated on a former sheep farm overlooking the Breiðafjörður Nature Reserve in western Iceland. Originally constructed as a farmhouse in 1936, the building was deserted in the 1970s, slowly falling into disrepair before the new owners eventually began rebuilding in 2001. Since 2006, it has come to be known as a cultural hub of sorts, playing host to various exhibitions, lectures, courses and workshops.
The brief was to conceive a design that would make better use of the existing facilities, allowing for more multifunctional spaces for various cultural activities. This not only involved renovating the main house, but also rebuilding and enlarging the adjoining sheep-shed. Nýp’s first guests arrived in 2013 and where accommodated in two of the four bedrooms in the remodelled farmhouse. The reimagined sheep shed added a further three ensuite guestrooms with a separate entrance. This offers the owners greater flexibility, with the possibility of hosting larger events in the main house without disturbing guests. The new entrance hall and connection to the farmhouse has been given generous dimensions allowing it to double as an exhibition space.
The main house is divided vertically in two volumes with the original living quarters to the south and a barn for hay storage to the North. Bua inserted an additional floor into the barn to create a raised event space with a series of new openings capturing views to the mountains and the fjord. Driftwood, salvaged from a neighbouring beach, has been used as columns to support the new floor. Steel handrails, timber doors and beams have been salvaged from building sites in Reykjavik old town.
The ruins of concrete foundations have been repurposed to form a structured kitchen garden. A steel and polycarbonate structure has been bolted to the top of one concrete bay to create a tall greenhouse, also used by the client as an extra sitting room in the warmer months.
Staying true to Nýp’s ethos of sustainability and slow tourism, Studio Bua took a vernacular approach with a form based on local turf homes and a gradual renovation that focused on restoring and reinterpreting historical features while making full use of local labour, techniques and materials such as stone-turf retaining walls and tiles handmade from local clay.
Since the end of the 19th century, the combination of timber frame and corrugated metal cladding has been widespread throughout Iceland, replacing the traditional turf house. The prevailing wind comes down the valley from the north and east, and so it was decided to overclad the rear of the building and the new extension in corrugated aluzinc - one of the few materials proven to withstand the extreme weather.
In the 1930's concrete was the wonder material, even used as window frames in the case of Nýp farmhouse! The aggregate for the house is rather course with pebbles sourced from the beach below, giving it a special character. Where possible the original concrete walls have been retained and exposed, both internally and externally. The 'front' facades towards the access road and fjord have been repaired and given a thin silicate render (in the original colours) which allows the texture of the concrete to show through.
The project was developed and built in phases and on a modest budget. The site team was made up of local builders and craftsmen including the neighbouring farmer – who happened to own a cement truck. A specialist local mason restored the fragile concrete walls, none of which were reinforced.

EnergyPal SolarWow. When we saw this one we were simply stunned with the beautiful architecture and the dabbled pool. At dusk the home really shows off it's elegance, beauty and sophistication, and the solar energy system on the roof absolutely complements the beauty. this model home features solar that powers the entire home, pool, security, and has battery backup installed for ultimate backup protection. We have many other solar customers with similar homes, just wish we had as many good photos of those projects!
The Artisans Group, Inc.The Ballard Haus is an exciting Passive House design meant to fit onto a more compact urban lot while still providing an open and airy feeling for our clients. We built up to take full advantage of the extra sunlight for solar gain during the winter, and we crafted an open concept floor plan to maximize our client's space and budget.
Part of the goal of the Ballard Haus project was to create a design that could be used in a multitude of urban settings as we get ready to expand our reach into prefab Passive House options.
In this iteration of the Ballard Haus, yakisugi cedar and smooth hardi siding were chosen to complement and blend into the beautiful Pacific NW.
The entrance to our client's home manages both a timeless welcoming quality, while providing an elegant contemporary look.

Quarry MillNicolet natural stone veneer from the Quarry Mill adds dimension to the exterior of this beautiful ranch style house. Nicolet is a natural granite thin stone veneer in the ledge stone style with dark tones. The pieces of thin stone are low height and intended to be laid in a linear fashion. Nicolet’s stones are slightly more irregular and have a coarser texture than most of our other ledgestone options. The color of the stone is predominately dark grey with hints of gold and brown. Each individual piece of stone has been sawn on the back with a diamond blade to a thickness of approximately 1”. Nicolet is a premium quality real stone veneer we import from overseas. We have 100 square foot pallets ready to ship today.
