The Hof House’s exterior cedar walls hug the massive concrete structural walls and will age gracefully with the passing seasons. The hexagonal shape formed by slices of the salvaged basalt pillars are repeated inside, bringing a continuity of design from the outside in. Geothermal heating comes up from the ground, warming the stone floors and providing heat and electricity throughout the house. The remaining energy needs are sufficed by hydroelectric power. The windows are oriented to not only capture the Southern sun, but also to create a frame for the magnificent surroundings of the cliff islands of Drangey and Málmey and the hills of Þórðarhöfði.
水泥墙外面被松木墙包裹，随着季节的变换松木墙会慢慢老化，但是却仍然仪态庄重。室内也设置成了类似玄武岩切片形成的六角型形状，以追求室内外的统一性。来自地下的地热将石头材质的地板烘暖，并为整个房子提供热气和电。短缺的能量由水力发电补充。窗户的朝向不仅仅是为了看到南面的太阳，也能将周围开阔的Drangey悬崖，Þórðarhöfði.山的景色一览无余。
