A Six-apartment Residential Home for People with Disabilities

The building will be cast in place and clad with aluminum siding in a light brown color. The eaves will be timber-clad, giving the exterior a warm appearance. The roof will have a dual slope, with a 200 mm cast concrete slab topped with waterproof insulation and a layer of turf. The windows will be large and made of wood and aluminum.

The main entrance is on the south side and offers good accessibility for both pedestrians and vehicles. At the entrance, there will be a sheltered outdoor area with seating and greenery, creating a warm and welcoming environment. Inside the entrance, a spacious foyer leads directly into a central corridor—the heart of the building—which connects the apartments with staff and service areas.

The corridor will be bright and spacious, with increased ceiling height where the sloping roofs meet. Windows in the attic space will let in ample daylight, giving the area an open and light atmosphere.

Completion expected mid-2027

According to the contract, work is scheduled to begin around this time, with construction expected to continue through next year and conclude, as noted, around mid-2027. Hafnarfjörður Municipality places strong emphasis on ensuring that the project meets quality and safety standards and that construction in Smyrlahraun proceeds according to plan.
