The concept for the new nursing home in Húsavík, is based in two interlocking squares, each enclosing a sheltered courtyard that offers protection from dominant winds.

All circulation spaces face inward toward these patios, creating a calm and communal atmosphere. Every resident room is oriented outward, framing uninterrupted views of the surrounding mountains and northern landscape. The building’s geometry balances privacy with openness, allowing nature to permeate the interior experience.

Rooted in simplicity and clarity, the concept reflects both the serenity of the site and the dignity of its purpose.
