The swimming pool in Hofsós is a gift presented by Lilja Pálmadóttir and Steinunn Jónsdóttir to the Hofsós municipality and its guests. The goal was to create a modern structure which would also harmonize with the old town environment. The building rises from the columnar basalt characterizing the topography of the beach. The swimming pool was designed by Basalt Architects.
