The Icelandic bank, Landsbankinn
Design: C.F. Møller Architects and Arkthing
Location: Reykjavik, Iceland
C.F. Møller Architects in collaboration with Arkthing have won a competition for a new building for the Icelandic bank, Landsbankinn.

The raw Icelandic nature, the basic language of the volcanic basalt stone, the horizontal layers of the rock, and the atmosphere of the caves and clefts have been a source of inspiration in the design of the project. This clear approach to both materiality and spatial experience runs from the building?s façade and external landscape through to its interior spaces.
Helga Björk Eiríksdóttir, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Landsbankinn, stated,

?The building designed by Arkthing and C.F. Møller is beautiful and harmonises with the environment. We consider that it will fit the cityscape splendidly and be a valuable asset to Landsbankinn. The proposal is well suited to the bank’s operation and is in line with the conditions set out earlier in the process. We look forward to collaborating with the team from Arkthing and C.F. Møller on the building’s final design. We also thank other architect teams for their interesting and professional proposals?.
