Gudmundur Jonsson Architects has completed the renovation of a studio in Reykjavik, Iceland.
The small house is one of the elevations of the square at the top of the center of Reykjavik in front of the famous church and the Museum of Sculpture. This place is visited by tourists each and every one that comes to Reykjavik. The apartment is on the 2nd floor overlooking the church, museum, Pearl Restaurant and the Blue Mountains in the distance. This spectacular setting was the reason for the investment in the apartment was in very poor condition.
There is only one apartment on each floor, each level of the staircase that leads onto a small balcony that is not accessible from the apartment, but only of the ladder.
The balcony was of no interest, but provided an excellent opportunity to include in the apartment of creating a new entry with full glazing to the backyard with a view to the landscape of the roof and the beach.
Changing this entry a new solution more cooking and cleaning could be established.
In addition, a load-bearing wall and other walls are softened and replaced with steelbeam and to make use of the beautiful view of the church and square windows were enlarged balcony giving a possible replacement as the balcony and French a fully glaze window, even with a floor and ceiling glace.
The plan had previously been divided into separate rooms and the attention now focused on the design solution with the potential to split open with acrylic sliding elements to separate the bedroom.
The steelbeam is hidden with a false ceiling at the same time is giving the address of the entry space, therefore, also be able to hide the suspension of acrylic sliding elements and giving the best opportunities to play with different lighting and fixtures and indirect lighting.
The ceiling height is well above average and the establishment of high kitchen cabinet space with more experience the grandeur. The white color is used to the feel of a larger space than it is only 52 m2 baywindow after enlargement with glace and use the balcony as a new entry. The cabinets are finished in bright paint cars and no visible handles to simplify the design and refine it. The flooring is Casa Dolce color tiles graybrownish Case in 60 x 60 cm. tiles throughout the house.
Mirrorglass The bathroom has one of the longitudinal walls to enlarge the sense of space. All lights have the potential regulation and light control system with different scenes.
The kitchen island is covered with Nero black absolute stone countertop handpolished mate Miele integrated and almost invisible. The kitchen table is a white stone other Italian Christopher. The wall between the upper and lower cabinets are covered with glass for better maintenance. Some other types of lighting has been established, as well as the effects of LED lights around the TV from the wall and under the bed.
