ABOUT THE PROJECT
In 2003 an invited architectural competition was held for the design of assisted living apartments, a senior service centre, and a nursing home at Mörkin, located at the eastern end of Suðurlandsbraut. The proposal by Yrki Architects was awarded first prize.
The project comprises 78 assisted living apartments, a nursing home with 113 resident rooms, and a central service hub that connects the assisted living apartments with the nursing home.
