Bua is executing a masterplan for the ambitious development of an agricultural site just outside Reykjavík. The first phase is an eight-room hotel made from pre-cast concrete and corrugated aluminium from local sources, which will be followed by a larger hotel and nature spa, a greenhouse and educational facilities – all dedicated to the nobility of nature. Barns will become lecture halls. Shepherd huts will become mountain retreats. The farm’s agricultural operations will continue, allowing guests to rest and recharge while respecting the hegemony of goats and sheep.

The foreground showcases a sloping hill with dry grass and patches of colourful vegetation. A large, white, A-frame building with wooden window frames stands prominently on the left, while two red buildings with simple rectangular designs sit further back. A dirt road leads towards the structures, with a small herd of cows or bulls standing near a fence. In the background, rolling hills and a pale blue sky with a flock of birds in flight create a serene atmosphere.

The room has a large window with a view of rolling hills and a white animal outside. A sheer green curtain partially covers the window, and a soft-textured rug lies on the wooden floor. The walls and ceiling are finished in a muted grey tone, with subtle pink trim accents.

In the foreground, a person wearing a yellow coat stands with a young child dressed in blue, watching a small group of goats grazing on the grass. Another adult and child, dressed in dark and pink clothing, walk further into the open landscape, which consists of grassy fields with patches of red and orange vegetation. Rolling hills rise in the background under a soft blue sky. A figure is also visible through an upper window of the building, adding a sense of human presence in the scene.
