Vesturbugt, a former industrial area by the waterfront in the center of Reykjavik, will constitute an important link between the surrounding central city districts. Shops, restaurants and two public squares will create a living connection between the diverse cultural contributions along the waterfront to the east and west. Simultaneously, varied apartment types on the upper floors will extend Reykjavik’s oldest residential area Vesturbær, or the West City, down to the waterfront.
The urban and architectural ambition is to create a multifaceted and vibrant community with a strong reference to the area’s industrial history.
