Sunnuflöt 48 is an extraordinary 930m² luxury villa set in Garðabær, one of the most prestigious and private neighbourhoods around the Icelandic capital. Designed by Danish architecture firm Gassa and built to an unrivalled standard of construction quality, this property represents one of the finest private residences in Iceland, combining bespoke architecture, world-leading interiors and sweeping views over the historic Icelandic lava landscape.
