The Lake House

A tranquil retreat shaped by natural materials and quiet luxury

Private Homes Kjós 2023

Set against the dramatic landscape of an Icelandic fjord, The Lake House is a contemporary retreat where natural materials, rich textures and carefully considered details create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open-plan living space is defined by soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams and expansive windows that frame the surrounding mountains and water. A muted green kitchen forms the heart of the home, complemented by sculptural woven lighting, natural stone flooring and a layered mix of contemporary and rustic furnishings. Throughout the house, a sophisticated palette of earthy tones, soft neutrals and unexpected touches of colour brings warmth and individuality to the interiors. The bedrooms introduce a more intimate atmosphere through dusty pinks, textured fabrics and bespoke detailing, while the bathrooms combine decorative surfaces, brass fittings and contrasting finishes. The result is a relaxed yet characterful home, where contemporary design meets the raw beauty of the Icelandic landscape.
