Those of you who have been reading Inhabitat for a while may remember seeing some beautiful images of Iceland when Jill traveled there last summer. We caught glimpses of eco villages and the extensive geothermal activity that provides most of Iceland’s power, but until now, we hadn’t seen much from Iceland’s prefab scene.
This little dwelling comes from Glama-Kim, a Reykjavik architecture firm. Their Summerhouse (of which there are two models) is comprised of two adjoining prefab structures – the larger contains an open living and dining area, and the smaller houses sleeping quarters. The outdoor hot tub, deck and pergola are a tempting invitation to spend time outdoors enjoying the expansive open space.
I do not think that it is clear that you are mixing two houses here- the bottom six pictures are from the very prefab 1999 summer house; your second paragraph describes it perfectly, and comes from its description in the architects website. I do not think the newer house at the top is prefab- two storey spaces and such large volumes are tough. It is, however, very lovely and worthy of your wonderful site.

Note from the architects.
A pleasant surprise to see the two prefabricated projects presented on your site. The top project is indeed prefabricated – at a shipbuilders in nearby Stykkishólmur
Constructed during winter (slow season for shipbuilding) in two parts and transported to the building site.
