Studio Bua is currently working on a masterplan involving the transformation of an existing agricultural site just outside Reykjavík. Announced in the national newspaper in August 2024, the proposal outlines an ambitious redevelopment that merges modern hospitality with traditional farming practices, promising a fresh approach to rural retreat experiences.

The masterplan includes the reconstruction of existing agricultural structures and the introduction of 40 guest rooms designed to offer a luxurious yet authentic countryside experience. Key features of the development will include a spa and a contemporary bathing facility, aimed at enhancing guests’ immersion in the serene landscape.

Despite these new additions, the farm’s agricultural operations will continue unabated, preserving its traditional roots and agricultural heritage. This delicate balance between innovation and tradition is set to provide visitors with an unparalleled opportunity to engage with nature and partake in outdoor activities, all within a stone’s throw of the city. Currently, the planning application is under review by the Municipality of Reykjavík.
