A new home for creators in downtown Reykjavík
hafnar.haus is a place for people that look for space to set sail on their journey as painters, developers, designers, musicians, writers, entrepreneurs and all the other things that make life interesting.
A unique location
We’re located on the top two floors above Reykjavík Art Museum, next door to the future home of the Iceland University of the Arts, with views of the harbour and seconds away from restaurants and cafés.
3000m2 of space incorporating 90 private studios, an open plan coworking space and communal functions like meeting rooms, a photo studio, a recording / podcast studio and more.
Create
Office, art studio, or coworking space? hafnar.haus has got it for you. A place that’s more than just a desk, but a home for ideas and a harbour of opportunity.
Play
Only work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. hafnar.haus is a place for your imagination, with an exciting programme of exhibitions, talks, concerts and other events.
Grow
Become part of a community of 200+ creators and creatives of all kinds. hafnar.haus is a place where a polar bear can meet a penguin, where young professionals flourish alongside weathered professionals.
Founding team
The City of Reykjavik provides the building and is partnering with a founding team that has made blockbuster Hollywood movies, founded companies that are listed on Nasdaq, held exhibits at MoMA, won BAFTAS and gotten Grammy nominations. Sorry about that list but we need you to know we are important people doing important things. That’s important for you to know. Important.

How do I become a member?
At the moment, we’re at full capacity for the private studios, but still accept people in the open plan coworking space. Applications will be judged on several criteria, among other; the connection to the creative industries, diversity of members and whether your intended operations fit in the hub.
Can I get a tour?
We do tours of the house on Friday at 13:00. Send an email to info@hafnar.haus if you would like to join.
What do I need to bring?
This is a DIY space. There are no desks or chairs, or plants, no beer on tap, it’s a blank canvas for you to fill, together with the other members of the space.
What’s happening in hafnar.haus?
With over 250 members from a variety of creative fields under one roof, there’s always something happening. Have a look at the community’s website to see who our members are and what they’re up to.
