The Copenhagen townhouse
In a townhouse in Copenhagen's most popular residential area, we have designed a kitchen for architect Jeppe Dueholm and his family. All choices have been made with great respect for the house's history and the design has been inspired by the brick facade and the organic staircase that connects the house's three floors.

The open space of the room is connecting the kitchen and the dining room in the opposite end. Tables and chairs designed for Noma's newly opened restaurant, by David Thulstrup for BRDR. Krüger. The lamp above the table is handmade by Tom Rossau.
A quick walk from Copenhagen's botanical garden, along one of the three lakes that connect the city's different districts, lies Kartoffelrækkerne, one of northern Europe's probably most charming residential area.
“It was a given that the choice of natural and durable materials would be the cornerstone of the renovation of our townhouse. The ambition was that our additions would all feel as natural parts of the house as the 150-year-old brick facade. We have focused on good craftsmanship and put time into the details to make everything fit together. ”
- Architect Jeppe Dueholm
The asymmetrical shelves are reminiscent of the architecture of the residential area where the townhouses vary slightly in size and design, where all houses have their own identity. Which creates an overall impression that is both creative and artistic.
The integrated bench with built-in storage captures the family's vision with the kitchen in many ways. At the same time as it blends into the surroundings and can be experienced almost invisibly, it contributes to the identity of the kitchen and the social function they wanted the room to have.
In terms of design and material, the kitchen blends in nicely with the rest of the house. Walls and upper cabinets have the same tone throughout and have all been inspired by the house's iconic brick facade.
Above the sink is a minimalist shelf that is painted in the same exclusive creamy white tone as the wall and almost looks like it is floating in the air. Here you can show off your favorite wine glasses, ceramics and decoration.
The kitchen
All choices have been made with great respect for the house's history and the design has been inspired by the brick facade and the organic staircase that connects the house's three floors. A durable steel worktop breaks off nicely between the cream-colored top cabinets, Lindanäs limestone as a backsplash and the cupboards in dark-stained oak. The layout and material mix means that the kitchen not only feels like a place to cook in, but also a room for everyday socializing.

The Danish interior stylist Marie Graunbøl has chosen kitchen accessories with a strong personality and tactility. They have different ages and backgrounds but are held together by the warm beige-brown color scheme.
Stained oak, stainless steel, limestone and cream-colored cabinets have been mixed in a harmonious way in the well-planned kitchen that is tailored for the house.
The Danish architect Jeppe Dueholm is educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
Jeppe Dueholm works as a creative leader with responsibility for concept development and architectural design. The CV includes concert halls as well as skyscrapers and private villas. Jeppe also runs the newly started company A-R-C @studio_a_r_c_
