On the edge of Reykjavík, where the cool breath of the North Atlantic meets land, rises a unique sanctuary from times and cultures of the past. Here, surrounded by the city's simple Scandinavian architecture, the Recycled House tells a story as diverse and compelling as the objects that compose it.

Upon entering this enchanted place you will be greeted by a rusty Viking warrior. An all-seeing eye at the entrance curiously observes every visitor. Above you, on a roof, a wire-shaped raven explores the area as if it were the guardian of this special place.

The landscape is peppered with relics: old ship parts, driftwood, satellite dishes and much more. Every piece tells its own story, every corner of this place hides a secret. Small temples scattered throughout the site bear witness to Nordic, Christian and Buddhist traditions. It is a mosaic of cultures coming together in a harmonious symphony.

The center of this work of art is the house itself - an architectural marvel that extends over three levels and appears to grow in every direction. In the midst of this apparent chaos, one recognizes the handwriting of a true artist. A man who has dedicated his life to recycling and reinterpreting objects.

In this fascinating environment, which seems to be constantly changing and yet always retains its essence, you become aware of the transience and at the same time the eternity of things. The Recycled House is not just a home, but a living museum of passion, creativity and history.

There is something different to discover in every corner and niche. Well worth taking a bit of time to explore :)
