HEADLINE
The Hill Farm project offers a unique vision for a contemporary sustainable organic farm restaurant, that is inspired by the natural volcanic landscape of Iceland. The buildings form gently Steps with the landscape, providing a strikingly dynamic and iconic design that blends succinctly with the volcanic setting.
Biodegradable, and recycled materials are used throughout, such as reclaimed steel, wood and local stone. Local Volcanic Basalt stone is used for the roof tiles, which are arranged in a layered configuration, mimicking that of Icelandic volcanic rock formations.
