Want an old -fashioned house in the old town
« We had a multidisciplinary studio around Vesturbugt where the Slippas area at Mýrargata was taken.
He says the goal of the work is to make rough suggestions on how this area can develop in the future. Many have come to work, such as players, the university and city officials. The city officials who came from the Socialist Party, the Progressive Party and the Independence Party.
Next to build on the East?
« The organization that the City of Reykjavik made is in the same spirit as we take care of the whole city, which is 3-5 storey boxes on deep building blocks, dark apartments and flat roofs. This is the same as we see at Hlíðarenda, Vogabyggð and Sunnusmári.
He says it has been forgotten in the organization of Reykjavik to define the importance of the port area.
« Everyone understands the importance of the pond and the eastern field while the harbor is interrupted. People would raise their ears if there were ideas for building the pond or in the East to condense the settlement.
The group has fought for this area to be organized with regard to the context of the settlement and the port and announced its conclusion on Sunday.

« There are two rough proposals how this area could look like the proposals that have been submitted and approved. Our proposals are that there is a continuum with the old settlement above Mýrargata, such as Bakkastíg and Nýlendugata. »
The work was based on 3D technology or video game technology. 3D models of all Reykjavik have been made and a 3D model of houses into the box has been made so that people can see this as from the ground.
Asked if this proposal is not too late, as the plot has been planned and sold, Paul says that it is not started to build, so that the opinion can still be changed.
« The landowners are in the starting holes and Örn at the M3 came to the studio and is fully aware of all this. This is an important area that it needs to get better coverage and a different approach because this is the last bit of the port area that still has a historic appeal that stretching back to the settlement, » says Páll.
Paul Jakob Líndal.
The plot purchased with a sharing plan
Örn V. Kjartansson, Managing Director of M3 Real Estate Development, says that he looks good for planning on planning to join forces and submit proposals, but it is too late to propose something other than a brand new structure that the city itself made and sold.
« I bought the plots with the planning plan that the city had done and we start this summer if everything goes well. I think it is more sensible to look at fields that have not recently been planned and also because the city has not been willing to listen to ideas like these, in this box. »
He mentions an area where it was to be a kindergarten but becomes a city plot.
« So the area is closest to the harbor where there are now sheds around the tourism and the Slippinn area. It would be a good change to change 200-300 parking spaces into a beautiful apartment building in this area of the West. »
Örn points out that landfill has been in front of the proposed settlement, creating a hiking trail and transforming the country from what was, when the Daniel Slip was there.
« The story can be alive even if it is not kept in the old part. We will build on a wealthy plot and intend to build a beautiful residential area with walking connections around, which is on top of today. »
