Festir Presents Vesturvin A Premier Mixed use Housing Community with Commercial Space in Heart of Reykjavik...

Vesturvin is a new residential development with a charming urban feel, now under construction in Reykjavík. The development will bring new life to an old historic industrial area that’s been untapped for years. The location is strategically important as a connection between the city centre, Vesturbær and the Grandi district.

Pedestrian-friendly, community lifestyle is encouraged with good pedestrian connections to the surrounding neighbourhoods, landscaped parks and a public square, welcoming visitors from the neighbouring communities. Emphasis is placed on creating a vibrant urban community by offering a variety of apartments, in size and design, prioritizing quality outdoor spaces and including commercial services and a restaurant on the street level.

The apartments are filled with natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy unobstructed sea views and/or beautiful garden and city views. The flow of space and quality of materials was given a high priority. This clever reimagination of space and community comes from the minds of a clever international team of architects, landscape architects and interior designers, from Iceland, the Netherlands and Italy.

FESTIR REBUILT FISKHÖLLIN, A HISTORIC BUILDING WHICH WAS PART OF THE REGENERATION OF THE TRYGGVAGATA PLOT IN DOWNTOWN REYKJAVÍK.  THE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1906 AS A FISH PROCESSING PLANT AND WAS COMMONLY CALLED THE FISH PALACE. BEING A REFLECTION OF ITS TIME, WITH SIMPLE CONCRETE FACADE AND STEEL FRAMED WINDOWS, THE BUILDING IS ALSO INSPIRED BY THE SWISS CHALET STYLE WITH ITS CORNER TOWER, WOODEN DOOR AND OTHER DECORATIVE ELEMENTS.

THE PLANNING CONCEPT OF THE TRYGGVAGATA PLOT WAS CENTRED AROUND ITS UNIQUE  LOCATION, BEING IN THE CITY CENTER AND A CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE OLD HARBOUR. EMPHASIS WAS PLACED ON RECLAIMING THE URBAN FABRIC OF THE PAST AND THEREFORE THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE FISH PALACE WAS COMPLETELY RECONSTRUCTED, WHILE THE INTERIOR WAS REBUILT ACCORDING TO DEMANDS OF A CONTEMPORARY OFFICE SPACE.
