A two-floor penthouse apartment in Aarhus, Denmark, built in 1907. There's a kitchen-dining-living area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study on the upper floor. The lower floor contains a studio and bedroom..
1/9 Living room
A cowhide rug defines the living space, while a bold print and a quirky cushion add a surreal aspect.

Cassina
2/9 Sofa
Green is a tranquil colour that can stretch to every room in the home without looking overdone. An occasional table is a great place to store magazines and books, while a decorative vase containing fresh flowers gives the room a lived-in feel.

3/9 Shelving
Here, artwork sits on open shelving to create a display that is full of character and personality.
4/9 Kitchen
The apartment's mansard roof allows light to pour in through the skylights, but means wall space is at a premium. Under-the-counter wall-hung units in the kitchen increase the sense of light and space.
