UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO - SCARBOROUGH CAMPUS

 

This building felt like a space from the future even though it was built in the 60s by australian architect John Andrews. The University of Toronto Scarborough Campus is one of Toronto's brutalist monolith structures. 

I have to come back here. I wanted to move in!

Single Family House in Arnarnes - Garðabær, Iceland

 

"New construction of a single family house for a family of seven. The new two level building is organized around a lightwell on the entry level. The bedrooms are located to the northeast side, whilst the family room and kitchen are at the soutwest side enjoying a view of the inlet beyond. The formal dining room and living area continue along the large glazed facade towards the spectacular view of the Reykjanes Peninsula. A large fireplace subdivides the space and provides a vertical anchoring for an open staircase leading to the family rooms on the lower level." (Gláma Kím)

The project encompassed exterior renovations and retrofitting executed with respect to the high quality typical of Guðmundur´s design." by Gláma Kím

Center Hotel by Gláma Kím - Reykjavík, Iceland

 

End of October 2017 I returned to Iceland. In collaboration with Gláma Kím we were able to photograph 11 of their projects within 6 days! Most of them were located in Reykjavík and one in Akureyri that I will show soon!

The new Center Hotel at Laugavegur 120 in Reykjavík was one of the projects I was particularly looking forward to! The new addition designed by Gláma Kím includes not only the Jörgensen Kitchen and Bar but also a beautiful Spa and Gym area.
