The architects at JAC Studios gave a 200-square-metre apartment on Sturlasgade in Copenhagen a stunning, modern treatment. Formerly a factory complex, the freshly revived space retains its industrial feel with a primarily greyscale palette and a landscape of functional plateaus and surfaces in a beautiful array of materials. Louis Poulsen lighting brings warm, sculptural illumination to the distinctive interiors, complementing the architectural lines and engaging with the natural light streaming in through the windows. It’s a study in contrast – cool and warm, classic and modern, hard and soft, linear and organic – with opposites not just attracting but interacting to become a stunning whole.
