For two years Sille Kroyer Koppel and her husband Nikolaj scoured Copenhagen’s Frederiksberg district hoping to find their ideal apartment. Attracted by the schools and green spaces, Sille, a graphic designer who runs her own business (kroyergrafik.dk), and Nikolaj, who is the CCO at podcast streaming service, Podimo, wanted a central location from where they could work and raise their children, Simon and Emilie, in a bustling, cosmopolitan environment.
A really generously proportioned kitchen was at the heart of the search. ‘It’s always been the centre of our family life and we had trouble finding an apartment where we wouldn’t need to move the kitchen into another, larger room,’ says Sille. ‘With this place we could take down the wall to an adjoining room and create the kitchen we wanted. I also loved the floor plan and the way that the rooms connected with each other.’
