Very cool! Iceland is on out bucket list.
I've always admired the Tikit. What repairs are you doing?

Looks like a complete drivetrain cleaning. On my list. I need to get back to chain waxing like I used to, which required a whole drivetrain cleaning, like, never.
EDIT: Just noticed, handlebar stands! I spoke with someone on here many months ago about such things, not sure if it was you. I just use a double-wall mango box, but those would be handy on the road, if they are tall enough above my aero bars along a line from the seat to the bars, not sure if they will be.
Looks like you are as tight on space as me. Looks like a combo washer/dryer. Like your counter, in my small rented room I have a sitting height table that is 18" deep by 60" wide, my bike lives on it upright to keep out of the walkway, tied down against earthquakes, and inverted for maintenance. I wouldn't have space for a workstand.
My perception of the Tikit (without having ridden either that or Brompton) is I think an even faster fold than Brompton, but not as compact in the long direction. Possibly better torsional rigidity when climbing, due to a larger main frame tube with no folding joint in it. I'm curious if you have any special high gearing, like a high cog smaller than 11T and/or Chainring Of Unusual Size, to get sufficient top end.

Warm fall day means a trip to the Italian deli for some coffee beans, mozzarella, pasta, and my favorite sandwich
