Iceland is a country with amazing nature and although the climate is cold the nature is beautiful all year long. Because the country has very few inhabitants compared to other places the houses usually are quite isolated and peaceful. Hof is one of those houses and it is situated in the Skakafjördur fjord, less than 100km from the Arctic Circle.

Due to the grass on the roof and the massive concrete walls the house is insulated and thermally stable.Geothermal water is used for the floor heating and radiators as well as for all domestic use. Electricity is made from hydroelectric and geothermal sources.

Well…I can say that this is a dream house and I would love to live there!

If you feel that your home doesn’t have enough plants and you want to be more “nature surrounded” , maybe “Planter Wall Tiles” designed by Maruja Fuentes is a great idea. The wall tiles are finished with recycled materials and create an innovative place to grow plants for a fresh air.

Different patterns can be created, it just depends how your arrange the plants. Imagine growing flowers, and have a flower wall right in your living room.

I am sure that your guests will be very impressed.

We all are used working in big buildings full with little desks with people, in the middle of the city. A lot of pollution, many times a lot of noise, and not a very good view from your window, if you have one!

What do you think about moving your office right in the heart of the nature? Green trees, an amazng view, maybe you even have the chance sometimes to see wild animals from your office window.

I think it is a gread idea to move the offices in a forest for example or maybe near a river, because people will work harder, will be more relaxed and will concetrate better. They will feel happy.

I don’t know anything about the company that is using this office or where is situated because I got the pictures on the email.

If somebody knows more details please share them with us. Until then, enjoy the spectacular pictures and wish you will work someday in an office like this.

This Tree table is the latest creation by Sebastian Errazuriz and which have been seen Cristina Grajales Gallery, New-York.

This piece of furniture is perfect to put in offices, home and places where innovation is given precedence over conventionality. Although it may seem weird to some people, many of us will consider it a beutiful thing but its price of $120,000 I think is over exagerated. With a little effort I think that everyone can built a table like this.
