Nestled on a quiet side street in Copenhagen's fashionable Vesterbro district, sits the old workshop in which Pernille Holm, stylist and boutique owner, now lives with her husband, Leif Thingtved. Not only is it an unexpected oasis of calm in the heart of the lively hustle and bustle of the city, but it is also the building where the couple first met, 32 years ago.
Back then, Leif used the space to work on his old English motorcycles, and on her visits Pernille says she would dream about decorating the place if she lived there, never really imagining that it might be possible.
So when the chance to transform the workshop into a home came up, she was already ahead of the game with her plans, and they both agreed that it was important to retain its raw, industrial character. But to make the space work as a home it was necessary to create separate spaces. To do so they used salvaged materials to create several large, glazed room dividers, which feel as if they are original to the building.
