Founder Gundi Vigfusson grew up in Iceland, building alongside his father, a lifelong Icelandic carpenter.

That early education was about more than construction. It was about understanding materials, making things properly, and knowing that the parts of a home you do not see matter just as much as the ones you do.

Heima brings that way of working to California: Icelandic restraint, material honesty and enduring craft, interpreted for the light and everyday life of Lamorinda.
