The Hallgrímskirkja Church plaza minimalist layout, patterned paving stones, sparse benches, and low walls, was chosen intentionally to echo Iceland’s natural landscape: vast, unadorned, yet full of quiet power. Beneath the surface lies a carefully engineered heating system that melts snow in winter, keeping the space accessible year-round.
