The Office

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

The Bluthemes office is located on an abandoned American Naval Air base in Keflavik, Iceland. The office building itself was used by military commanders until the United States military units were withdrawn from Iceland in 2006. After the military left the area a special government owned company was founded called Kadeco. The main goal and purpose of Kadeco is to lead the development and transformation of the former defense area, now known as Ásbrú, for civilian use. The building we are now located in is used as a company hotel with many small office spaces and shared areas.

Workspace

When we say “play harder” we mean lots and lots of pool

It wouldn’t be viable as an office for Bluthemes if there were no pool table. With dozens of games on our back we are definitely winning the trophy in the upcoming in house tournament.
