We offers two spaces: The Studio and The House.

​

They can be booked independently or together, allowing Arctic Canvas to host everything from individual artist residencies and creative retreats to workshops, research stays, and small group gatherings.

​

When booked together, The Studio is typically used as the main workspace, while The House provides accommodation, dining, and shared living areas.

​

Both spaces have panoramic views of the ocean, Snæfellsjökull glacier, surrounding mountains, lava fields, and a bird-filled lake. Large windows frame the landscape throughout the day, capturing the changing light from sunrise to sunset.

​

The Studio and The House were thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy while preserving the views. Angled away from one another, they feel independent despite their proximity. Each offers multiple entrances and exits, allowing guests to come and go with ease and privacy.

 

Highly insulated for warmth and sound, both spaces provide comfortable environments for focused work, rest, and retreat throughout the year.

​

The Studio accommodates 1–2 guests and is designed for an individual or a couple

The House accommodates 7–8 guests and can be booked independently or together with The Studio.

​

Together, both spaces can accommodate up to 9-10 overnight guests, with facilities, seating, dining areas, workdesks and yoga equipment set up for groups of up to 10 people.
