Skriðuklaustur

This house was built for Gunnar Gunnarsson author in 1939, it's known for its strange look and remains an important piece in history of icelandic architecture.

 

Gunnar was considered for the Nobel Prize in 1955 but the award was instead given to another Icelander, Halldór Laxness. The decison was controversial and recent information indicates that this was the third time he was nominated for the prize.
