# Elaborately Designed Fisherman’s Huts This Hut was Designed in Reykjavík’s Old Harbour By Ell Smith | Published 2019-02-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reykjavks-old-harbour References: [wallpaper](https://www.wallpaper.com/lifestyle/haf-studio-reykjavik-store) & [hafstudio.is](https://www.hafstudio.is/) In Iceland, Reykjavík’s Old Harbour is a must-visit tourist destination, making it the perfect location for a modern interior transformation. Drawing inspiration from Iceland’s unique environment, HAF Studio transformed an old fisherman’s shed into a gorgeous retail outpost, that comes complete with a traditional office. The space’s interior is welcoming even though it features a dominantly rugged and modern aesthetic. Filled with comfortable places to sit, plenty of textured rugs and accent pieces and pops of lush greenery, this space is sure to stand out against Iceland’s more traditional backdrop. The home was originally built in the 1930s, making its transformation even more dramatic. To complete the piece, HAF Studios filled in the interior with custom-made lighting.
