这座私人住宅位于一个紧凑型的郊区社区，地势从街道向西南方向倾斜。

This private residence is located in a compact suburban neighborhood.  The plot slopes down from street level towards its southwest backyard.

这所房子被设想成一个独特的整体从街道上出现；入口被隐藏在街道上。相比之下，房子的后侧，带有私人户外区域，具有开放性和渗透性。

The house was conceived to appear from the street as a singular solid mass; with the entrance hidden from the street. By contrast, the rear side of the house, with private outdoor areas, has a sense of openness and permeability.

房子的整体质量掩盖了一个凹槽，在那里隐藏着前门。前面的体积被一个切口减轻，它代表了私人和公共区域之间的内部边界。前立面后面有一盏明灯，使房屋东北部的两层都能看到阳光。倾斜的地块使地下室被隐藏起来，并使附近的lftanes半岛壮丽的景色。

The monolithic mass of the house conceals a recess, where hides the front door. The front volume is lightened by an incision, which represents the interior boundary between private and public areas. A light well behind the front façade permits daylight into both floors in the northeast part of the house. The sloping plot allows for the basement to be hidden and gives magnificent views of the nearby Álftanes peninsula.

红海泡石是在这里作为包层，在凹槽表面，否则白色的独石。前院是碎石和石头的最小表面；绿色植物被限制在后面的一块地方，那里有一棵树。与该地区共有的绿色墙和茂盛的花园形成鲜明对比：这里对前院的干旱处理更符合冰岛的自然和景观。

Red Rhyolite is employed here as cladding on the recessed surfaces of the otherwise white monolith. The front yard is a minimal surface of gravel and stone; greenery being restricted to a patch at the rear where a single tree stands. In stark contrast with the green walls and lush gardens common to the area: the arid treatment of the front yard applied here is more in line with Iceland’s nature and landscapes.
