A young couple visit Sandgerði in search of a place to build a home A slow breeze travels from the sea, across the meadows on the southern edge of town There is a cluster of abandoned greenhouses They envision that the greenhouses can be used so that they embrace the residential buildings and food plants can be grown there.
The walls let the light in, the streaked and continuous spaces can be adapted to the needs of the family and the crops at any given time The sun's rays create warmth in the greenhouse The idea is that the open space is useful to the whole community for celebrations and gatherings The overall picture is intended to create a homely experience for the residents, visitors and pedestrians.
On the southern skirt of Sandgerði, breeze from the shore is felt through grassland where there lay clusters of stranded greenhouses. Its delicate structure, located between residential houses has been readapted to a multi-generational home to enable a couple to plant their own.
Through transparent walls, opens flexibility of spaces, both striated and smooth that gives vacancy for family adjustment and changes as they grow surrounded by plants. The sunlight bathes the interior spaces, and the greenhouse home lights up for diverse communities for the community, bringing a home-sere experience for visitors to come and use the garden growing station.
