New Board 2026-2027

We are Josie Anne Maltinsky Gaitens, Gaia Alba, Leeni Laasfeld, Ragna Árný Lárusdóttir, Chris Murphy, Patrik Ontkovic, Cerise Fontaine and Maarit Kaipainen 

We're here for you! Our goal is to keep life in the haus exciting, listen to your ideas, and continuously work towards making our community an even better place.

Think of us as your go-to people if you have an idea you'd like to bring to life! Whether it's organising an event or workshop, reimagining our shared spaces, starting a community project beyond the haus, or something completely different — we'd love to support you in making your haus dreams
come true!

Write to us at hello@hafnar.community and let’s meet!

See you at the next Happy Haus Hour

Happy Haus Hour

Thursday 26th November,
18-19, at Kaffi H.

All haus members are warmly invited to join us for Happy Haus Hour — meet new housies and catch up with familiar faces, meet new ones, and enjoy some quality haus time together!

Got an idea for making the haus an even more exciting place? Working on a project you'd love to share? Have questions for the Members Association Board? We're all ears!

But most importantly, there's no agenda and no pressure — just a chance to connect, have a cheap beer (or something else!), and enjoy the wonderful community that makes the haus what it is.

Come as you are, bring your ideas (or just yourself), and let's have a good time! 💛

Haus moments

Gallery

So much has been happening in and around the haus this autumn! From the opening of 114 Gallery, Hlemmur Fest, and Club.haus to good times at Kaffi H, exhibitions by Odysseas Chloridis and MÓR artists at hafnar.space, and a magical haus outing to a cave for Brynja’s single release — these are just a few of the many colourful moments that have filled our autumn with art, music, creativity, and community spirit.

Take part in haus open studio Christmas Calendar

Happy Haus Hour

This December, we're bringing a little extra magic to the haus with our very own Haus Advent Calendar!

The idea is simple: Every day, a new studio door opens! We're inviting haus members to open their studios for a cozy 30-minute visit, giving others a chance to peek inside, discover what you're working on, get to know their neighbours, and share a little festive cheer.

No big preparations needed — just open your door, welcome some curious hausmates, and enjoy a lovely moment together! ☕🍪

Drinks and snacks will be covered by the Members Association, so all you need to bring is yourself and your space!

Clubs and activities in the haus

Looking to connect, share ideas, learn something new, or simply spend time with like-minded people? There are plenty of ways to get involved in the haus community!

🎶 Music Feedback Sessions — A space for musicians to share their works in progress, listen to each other's music, exchange ideas, and give constructive feedback.

🎬 Film Club — Come together to watch films, discover new favourites, and share thoughts with fellow film lovers.

🤖 AI + Arts Club — Explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, art, and creativity through discussions and experimentation.

🧘 Meditationists Club — Take a moment to slow down, practice meditation, and connect with others.

Whether you're curious to try something new or eager to share your own knowledge, there's room for everyone. And if you have an idea for a new club, why not start one? 💛
