Iceland

The best architecture walks at the forests' pace. No slower, no faster.

Alfaborg Resorts

Bakkagerði village, Borgarfjörður Eystri

In 2013 I lived and worked in Iceland, renovating two farms in Borgarfjörður Eystri and a one-family house in Akureyri. During the long nights without sunset I had time for studying Viking archaeology, spending  hundreds of hours at the public library of Akureyri. Ten years later, making research on Norse architecture of Iceland, I was inspired by the Rock of the Queen of the Elves in Bakkagerði village where I lived, for a project of resorts where to live the experience of Norse spirituality and animic relationship with Nature's spirits. Iceland cannot be really understood if just experienced as a tourist. Its geological and ancestral energy is out of common tourist routes. The Alfaborg Resorts Project aims to make possible to experience Iceland as a medieval Icelander, in spiritual connection with elves and trolls as I did at the Alfaborg hill.
