The City of Reykjavík recently awarded awards for beautiful plots of apartment buildings and businesses and careful renovations of older buildings in Reykjavík in 2020 and 2021. One of the most beautiful plots in 2020 was Grandavegur 42.
The City of Reykjavík’s reasoning was as follows: Quality design. Neat and well maintained lot. Very good access around the site. Wide range of uses for all age groups. Varied and good choice of vegetation on the plot, which creates a soft look. The designer of the site is Hermann Georg Gunnlaugsson, FÍLA’s landscape architect.
