The Guesthouse Nýp at Skarðsströnd is situated on a former sheep farm overlooking the Breiðafjörður Nature Reserve in western Iceland. Originally constructed as a farmhouse in 1936, the building was deserted in the 1970s, slowly falling into disrepair before the new owners eventually began rebuilding in 2001. Since 2006, it has come to be known as a cultural hub of sorts, playing host to various exhibitions, lectures, courses and workshops. The brief was to conceive a design that would make better use of the existing facilities, allowing for more multifunctional spaces for various cultural activities. This not only involved renovating the main house, but also rebuilding and enlarging the adjoining sheep-shed. Nýp’s first guests arrived in 2013 and where accommodated in two of the four bedrooms in the remodelled farmhouse. The reimagined sheep shed added a further three ensuite guestrooms with a separate entrance. This offers the owners greater flexibility, with the possibility of hosting larger events in the main house without disturbing guests. The new entrance hall and connection to the farmhouse has been given generous dimensions allowing it to double as an exhibition space. The main house is divided vertically in two volumes with the original living quarters to the south and a barn for hay storage to the North. Bua inserted an additional floor into the barn to create a raised event space with a series of new openings capturing views to the mountains and the fjord. Driftwood, salvaged from a neighbouring beach, has been used as columns to support the new floor. Steel handrails, timber doors and beams have been salvaged from building sites in Reykjavik old town. The ruins of concrete foundations have been repurposed to form a structured kitchen garden. A steel and polycarbonate structure has been bolted to the top of one concrete bay to create a tall greenhouse, also used by the client as an extra sitting room in the warmer months. Staying true to Nýp’s ethos of sustainability and slow tourism, Studio Bua took a vernacular approach with a form based on local turf homes and a gradual renovation that focused on restoring and reinterpreting historical features while making full use of local labour, techniques and materials such as stone-turf retaining walls and tiles handmade from local clay. Since the end of the 19th century, the combination of timber frame and corrugated metal cladding has been widespread throughout Iceland, replacing the traditional turf house. The prevailing wind comes down the valley from the north and east, and so it was decided to overclad the rear of the building and the new extension in corrugated aluzinc - one of the few materials proven to withstand the extreme weather. In the 1930's concrete was the wonder material, even used as window frames in the case of Nýp farmhouse! The aggregate for the house is rather course with pebbles sourced from the beach below, giving it a special character. Where possible the original concrete walls have been retained and exposed, both internally and externally. The 'front' facades towards the access road and fjord have been repaired and given a thin silicate render (in the original colours) which allows the texture of the concrete to show through. The project was developed and built in phases and on a modest budget. The site team was made up of local builders and craftsmen including the neighbouring farmer – who happened to own a cement truck. A specialist local mason restored the fragile concrete walls, none of which were reinforced.

Created in the late 1930s, the PH mirror features backlit illumination that provides a reflection that is free from shadows and glare. PH’s wall mounted mirror design fits harmoniously with the widest variety of interior settings – from the grandest of hallways to the smallest of bathrooms – and provides a reflection of superior clarity regardless of its environment.

Situada entre las montañas de Ponferrada, León, la nueva clínica Activate Fisioterapia fue diseñada en 2018 para mejorar los servicios de fisioterapia en el norte de España. El proyecto incorpora tecnologías de bienestar y fisioterapia de vanguardia, y también demuestra que una solución arquitectónica moderna debe preservar el espíritu de su cultura. Un nuevo espacio de 250 metros cuadrados se convirtió en diferentes salas para practicar la mejores técnicas de fisioterapia, pilates y biomecánica. El diseño gira en torno a formas limpias y materiales luminosos, con un estilo nórdico que recuerda la naturaleza que rodea a esta ciudad. La iluminación está presente en cada habitación con intenciones de relajación, guías o técnicas específicas. Plataformas elevadas y techos abovedados, cada uno con un nivel de privacidad diferente, que culmina con un espacio en la sala de espera de la recepción. El interior es una continuación de esta impresionante fachada interactiva y tiene su propia vida. Materiales clave: La madera de roble como elemento principal. Madera lacada blanca. Techo suspendido de listones de madera. Tablón de roble blanco sellado. Aluminio anodizado bronce. Paneles acrílicos. Iluminación oculta. El nuevo espacio Activate fisioterapia es una instalación social esencial para su ciudad y sus ciudadanos. Es un modelo de cómo la ciencia moderna y la asistencia sanitaria pueden introducirse en el mundo en desarrollo. Vídeo promocional - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HiflTRGTHI
