Word has it that that the acoustics created by the building having a swimming pool center bottom was one of the reasons that they decided on investing in the property for future use. Sundlaugin has been used for recording and mastering by many Icelandic musicians and others, including amiina (which often tours with Sigur Rós) and Jimmy Lavelle from The Album Leaf.
