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.
水泥墻外面被松木墻包裹，隨著季節的變換松木墻會慢慢老化，但是卻仍然儀態莊重。室內也設置成了類似玄武巖切片形成的六角型形狀，以追求室內外的統一性。來自地下的地熱將石頭材質的地板烘暖，并為整個房子提供熱氣和電。短缺的能量由水力發電補充。窗戶的朝向不僅僅是為了看到南面的太陽，也能將周圍開闊的Drangey懸崖，Þórðarhöfði.山的景色一覽無余。
