Returning to Denmark having been in Africa for several years, Cathrine and Anders de Lichtenberg were looking forward to setting up home permanently. 'We'd been living out of a suitcase for years,' says Cathrine, so it was great to finally make plans for a home of our own. When I found this apartment - even before I showed it to Anders I sat down with an architect and came up with a plan for what we could do, so I could then convince Anders that it was the place for us. We both loved the lovely old marble window sills, stucco work, panelling and parquet flooring.'
