A Cold War Reykjavík child is a label that has produced a great many productive artists that have made their mark on the Icelandic Cuture and Art scene.
Reykjavík was a dynamic place to grow up at the time and the post-war era was greatly influenced by the presence of an American Naval Base in the neighboring town of Keflavík.
Bakkastofa
Bakkastofa - Our House
Búðarhamar, is one of the distinctive early 20th century houses in Eyrarbakki. It was built by a well to do entrepreneur Andrés Jónsson in 1916 to accommodate his family as well as the general store he opened on the ground floor.
A man with a keen view on the future, Andrés had his new house wirered for electrical power not yet available in Eyrabakki. This didn´t stop our man who one day hauled a machine from his boat and lit his new castle up under the thundering beat of the motor. The first illuminated house in Eyrarbakki was a now a fact and people traveled to see the wonder.
It is a true privilege to live and work in this wonderful building. We love to receive guests and have them experiencing our own slice of Iceland culture and history.
