Once I was final in Copenhagen, I discovered myself selecting up a each day espresso at Lille Petra, a restaurant designed and operated by &Custom and tucked into the courtyard of the model’s showroom. Now, &Custom extends its providing with Lodge Petra, a 40-room boutique lodge in a landmark constructing meticulously restored by the model.
Like many buildings in Frederiksstaden, the construction is historic—designed by famend Danish Functionalist Kay Fisker. Accomplished in 1943, the Dronningegården complicated includes a sequence of L-shaped buildings surrounding Adelgade and Dronningens Tværgade. The 1,550-square-meter house now house to Lodge Petra as soon as housed Visitor Home Christian IV.
Right here, distinct design particulars stay: terrazzo flooring, handcrafted stair bannisters, brass fittings, and curved wooden accents. All components which have been rigorously preserved and restored to honor Fisker’s architectural legacy, subtly up to date with fashionable sensibilities. The result’s a dwelling archive of Danish design, set inside a chunk of Danish architectural historical past. Lodge Petra opens this week in Copenhagen.
