Concrete casting has begun on the first new apartment building rising at Hraun West. It began on Friday, January 23, and the mayor and the chairman of the town council, dressed in their suits, were invited to operate the first pour into the foundation, though not for long before the professionals took over again.
There will be a total of 106 apartments in this 6–8 story apartment building at Reykjavíkurvegur 60–62. There will be retail spaces on the ground floor and apartments above, as well as an underground parking garage. Ólafur Páll Snorrason, managing director of OS byggingar ehf., welcomed the mayor along with others and led a tour of the foundation, which is very large and substantial. The construction is progressing well.
There will be a total of 106 apartments in the 6–8 story apartment building at Reykjavíkurvegur 60–62.
The sizes of the apartments in this area will vary. They will range from two to four rooms. The balconies will be either roof terraces, recessed balconies, or projecting balconies. There will be good access to parking spaces west of the building.
The architecture firm Nordic Office of Architecture has designed the housing. The firm employs more than 400 architects and has studios in Norway, Denmark, and here in Iceland.
The goal is for the district to become a so-called five‑minute neighborhood. This means that from its center, all services will be within about a five‑minute walking distance.
The main community services, such as schools, preschools, grocery stores, parking structures, underground parking, and key connections to public transport, will all be located roughly one minute apart. The focus will be on environmentally friendly construction methods, material use, and building processes.
