This extraordinary villa, positioned next to an ancient 8,000-year-old lava field and only 10 minutes from Reykjavik’s city center, is a paragon of contemporary Icelandic design. Originally constructed in 2008 and completed in 2016, this 932-square-meter residence was meticulously crafted by Architect Studio Gassa. The interiors showcase custom-made furniture from acclaimed Danish manufacturer Boform, featuring exquisite materials like black ash and unique, specially imported Swiss tiles. The home’s seamless connection between modern elegance and natural Icelandic beauty is exemplified by the expansive terraces, offering panoramic views of the historical lava fields.
The White Villa’s architectural brilliance extends to its amenities, which are designed for both luxury and comfort. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with Gaggenau appliances, complemented by a striking steel island, while the dining area, highlighted by a beautiful fireplace, flows effortlessly into the living room. Each space is adorned with high-end Italian furnishings from Minotti, Flexform, and Maxalto, alongside iconic pieces like leather-clad Swan and Egg chairs by Arne Jacobsen. The master suite on the upper floor boasts a Boffi bath and a private terrace, and the property includes a wine cellar, a large garage, and undeveloped basement space that offers endless possibilities for a spa, pool, and more.
The White Villa’s exterior is as impressive as its interior, with a garden that features concrete walls ensuring privacy, a maintenance-free hardwood deck, and a concrete hot tub. The landscape harmonizes with the surrounding natural beauty, incorporating large lava rocks and native vegetation. The property is situated in Garðabær, a prestigious area known for its proximity to the Heiðmörk nature reserve and its abundance of recreational options, including three nearby golf courses. With advanced security features and ample space for both intimate and grand gatherings, this residence offers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of Iceland’s most coveted locations.
