Ráðhús Reykjavíkur, City hall at Lake Tjörnin, Reykjavík, Iceland
The Reykjavík City Hall stands on concrete pillars over Lake Tjörnin, creating a visual connection between the building and the water surface.
The architectural firm Studio Granda designed and constructed this administrative center between 1987 and 1992, using visible concrete methods for the structure.
The ground floor features Tjarnarsalur, a public space that regularly hosts art exhibitions, concerts, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can access the tourist information center inside the building from 12:00 to 18:00, where they receive guidance about accommodations and local activities.
The building contains a 76.4-square-meter geographic model of Iceland, constructed from 106 layers of cardboard following precise topographical measurements.
