Location Iceland is an island between the Greenland Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, north
west of the United Kindom.
Site Location Eyrarbakki is on the south western side of Iceland coastal region. It was once the
capital of Iceland but due to the harshness of the sea on this part of iceland the main
port of business was moved the Reykjavik, which is now know as Iceland’s capital.
Climate The climate of Iceland is moderated by the North Atlantic Current.
Wind from the WSW (240 degrees) at 9 MPH (8 KT)
Enviroment Enviroment issues in Iceland include water pollution form fertilizer runoff and
inadequate wastewater treatement.
The use of timber as the main constuction material and the conditions of the soil has
caused huge negitave effects to the enviroment . Causing timber to be imported.
They are trying starting mainly in the capital to build with brick and concrete but due
to the high cost most villages are still using timber as well as corrigated iron with
aluminium zink coating . By Jonathan Jordan

My site is located on the southern edge of the village at a junction with six other houses. it is in walking
distance to iceland’s penitentiary, the local horse ranch and the local primary school with its truf and gravel
football courts.
One of the two main roads to Eyrargakki connects to this junction. My proposal is made up of wood and
metal workshops, two tempory stay homes and the E.R.D.A shop
The views from my site to the north west is the central of Eyrarbakki and to the west is the alantic ocean
from the site can see iceland’s best sunset views and to the east teh volcanic hills of iceland.

Proposed site plan
unscaled
This drawing illustrates the plan of the proposed proposal with sections drawn around the main dwelling
of the proposal, the E.D.R.A.S.
The proposal works by utilising a derelict foundation and neighbouring wood workshop. The derelict
foundation would be built upon and turned in to the E.D.R.A.S with a walk way connecting it form the
existing wood workshop to the temporary residence blocks to a new metal work shop.

There is vistors parking on my proposal as well as loading areas .
Due to the harsh conditions of iceland, the volcanic enviroment the coastal reagion is made up of
sandy subsoil with the only type of vegetation to survive being lyme grass which is being used for the
turf roofs.
The proposal is to create a gathering space for the community and to bring
people to this village form others.
The economic status of Iceland is harsh as well as the environment. Taking this into consideration my
building would house
reclaimed items for domestic use that would be repaired on site to a reusable state and sold at a
reduce prices.

indicates the different materials as the wall are made up of timber panels and
the doors are older, reclaimed and used as door walls with slots cut out of
them for use as windows.
These images on the right are of internal space of the front portion of the
E.R.D.A.S. proposal how the building itself is built using reclamed material
found around Eyrarbakki. The material used are reclamed doors which are
