Colors from dramatic, Icelandic landscapes inspired the contrasting interiors.

In the kitchen, "disappearing" chairs are stored under the island to maximize space.

The all-white kitchen is open to the upper level. One tread of the stairs extends out to become a countertop and the live-edge dining room table is surrounded by blue and grey chairs that are part of a palette inspired by the beach setting.
