About the project

In an old shelter, once a fish house on Stykkishólmi, pilgrims seek out the world's redoubt, from the extreme weather and catastrophic warming of the earth By preserving the historical and cultural heritage of the shelter, they create new spaces for themselves that combine the modern needs of humans as well as the older architectural heritage The architecture emphasizes sustainability and the reuse of materials, with natural forces and climate change in the foreground The house is broken up from its current form as six units into a spacious and adapted generation house In the house, the bird on the beach becomes a friend of man and the shells in the sea language a sweet reminder of the flurry and stability of life In sight, one can act out the vastness of nature, the closeness of the coexistence and the lifetime of the concrete enveloping the pilgrims in the green island in the north.
