Arkís

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arkís is an Icelandic architecural practice based in Reykjavík. The company was founded in 1997 by Aðalsteinn Snorrason, Egill Guðmundsson and Gísli Gíslason. The firm has grown from a four-person studio to a company with around 40 employees.

Notable projects include the design of the Smáratorg Tower in Kópavogur (currently the tallest tower in Iceland) and the Icelandic shipping company Samskip’s headquarters. The company also came first in a competition to design the new campus for Reykjavík University.
