Our wide expertise of architecture and design reflects in a holistic approach to all our projects where the environment, context and scale shape the design. The name Yrki has a specific meaning in Icelandic. To cultivate. To grow. To compose. The name refers to our vision of unifying the earthbound and the poetic, of unifying disparate aspects in our projects, from the urban environment to nature.
