The home has coloured limewashed walls in shades of blue, rose and green as references to a historical period when Copenhagen flats were often painted in a range of colours. The colour shades are reinterpretations of the iconic colourful buildings in Copenhagen’s nearby Nyhavn neighbourhood. The raw, textured surfaces of the walls, which are without doors and window sills, create a coherent and uninterrupted flow throughout the flat. This fluid movement from floor to ceiling is further underscored by the absence of unnecessary decorations or elements such as panels and radiators, which gives the walls a stronger role to play. 

The floors are Dinesen Douglas Classic finished with Natural oil without lye. The soft, warm qualities of Douglas fir and the golden colour note brought out by the finish contribute to a calm, earthy atmosphere in the home.    

Coquille draws inspiration from the marine world, with conches, water plants and other organic forms. The underwater universe is evident everywhere in the flat, including in their innovative interior design, with furniture that seems to grow out of the walls, rooted like corals. This expression gives rise to a tactile experience that brings nature into their home and balances the integration of form and function.
