The architecture of Iceland is mainly low-rise, with many low tower blocks and two- or three-storey buildings with pitched roofs predominating. Houses and smaller municipal buildings were traditionally wooden-framed, and clad in wooden planks or corrugated metal.
Icelandic architecture is a blend of traditional Nordic design and modern innovation. While Reykjavík features contemporary glass structures and cultural landmarks, rural areas showcase wood-framed houses and historic turf homes, offering diverse filming opportunities for period dramas, Nordic noir, and futuristic settings.
