BHM vacation houses won the AZ 2016 Awards of Merit - Residential Architecture

Vacation Rental Homes in Brekkuskógur won the peoples choice awards - best residential.

"PKdM Arkitektar’s 20 cottages in southwestern Iceland raise the bar for what sustainable, context-sensitive design can achieve. Based on vernacular turf houses, with exteriors clad in hardwood charred to enhance its durability, the dwellings are so thoroughly integrated into the landscape that they seem almost biological. Earth mounds excavated during construction were used to build bunkers that shield the outdoor terraces from wind. Most strikingly, the rooftops are covered in vegetation, making them as lush and green as the surrounding hills".
