Langitangi Country House / Krads
This country house in the south-western part of Iceland is one of the first projects by KRADS. Over the past 10 years it is gradually being worked on every time the owners, who live abroad, are in Iceland. The main focus in the design of the housewas to create a careful and functional engagement with the dramatic and beautiful topography of the site.  Partly submerged in the steep terrain of Langitangi (?Long-Peninsula?), the elongated building?s horizontal figure presents itself in the landscape as a geometrically accentuated topographic contour line.The building?s placement on the peninsula was specifically chosen in order to create a varied dialogue between the structure and it?s context.The rough concrete and the low, cantileveringroof endure the windswept site, while sheltering in- and outdoor spaces from the barren landscape.Â
