Pernille Lind Studio
Nestled in a charming coastal town north of Copenhagen, this 1930s residence exemplifies modern Scandinavian design with its thoughtful layout, featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two powder rooms, two living rooms, a study, a kitchen, and a boot room. Originally built in 1936 by established modernist architects Risom and Tillisch, the property is rich in architectural heritage, providing a fascinating backdrop for our renovation project.
Our primary goal was to restore the original character of the house while updating its functionality to better serve a modern family. To achieve this, we reimagined the layout, expanding the kitchen into an open-plan design that encourages family interaction. The master bathroom was also enhanced, increasing its size by a third to create a more luxurious experience. To optimise space, we reduced the dimensions of a guest room, transforming it into a spacious walk-in wardrobe. Throughout the home, we carefully reinstated architectural elements that echo the original 1930s design, all while modernising the interiors to align with the contemporary needs of the family.
The selection of furniture and lighting struck a careful balance between bold shapes and elegance, reflecting the client’s unique taste. We sourced vintage pendant lighting from a European dealer and opted for natural granites and stones, intentionally avoiding veiny marbles to align with the coastal environment. The warm grey stone used in the kitchen and dramatic bathroom stone captures the surrounding landscape and sea and forest, complementing the muted light of Danish winters, while warm wood tones infuse a sense of cosiness.
