Hof is a new country residence in the Skakafjörður fjord, less than 100km from the Arctic Circle in Iceland.

STUDIOS was selected by the City of San Jose to design the Evergreen Branch Library, part of a public bond-funded group of city branch libraries.

A pronounced canopy supported by a large concrete column marks the building’s entryway.

Netherland based Next Architects had the tedious task of integrating a bridge transporting motor-vehicle traffic through the ecological zone of the Glanerbeek.
