Small house, Big dreams: Building Our Garden Art & Photography Studio

Building and setting up a small, some would say tiny art (photography) studio in our garden is one of our better ideas. In this short video, we will show you how we did it. This tiny house, or art studio as we might call it, has changed how we work. Sometimes we need to work on framing photos, prepare books for shipment and work on all the small things our photography includes.

In short, we designed a small house in collaboration with a company in Akureyri that specializes in building small cabins, small houses and guesthouses. The house needed to be insulated for the weather in Iceland and be the workshop we sometimes need.

In this video, we casually chat about how the planning process was and how we are using this small house today. Hopefully you can takes something from it.
