Where Sound Meets Design – A Copenhagen Home in Perfect Balance
Tucked away in one of Copenhagen’s most elegant neighbourhoods lies an apartment that beautifully captures the essence of Scandinavian living - open, bright, and effortlessly refined.
The moment you step inside, you are met by high ceilings, grand floor panels, and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The home feels timeless yet alive, shaped by its classical architecture and modern sensibility.
The owners, a design-conscious couple, have created a space where everything feels intentional. Each room tells its own quiet story through carefully chosen art, furniture, and objects — both contemporary and antique — all united by a common philosophy: quality over quantity.
“We are both very design-conscious, so it was a joint effort. We designed everything ourselves and love looking for good pieces of art and furniture, whether modern or antique. It’s all about balance.”
A Home That Invites You In
Despite its grandeur, this Copenhagen home exudes warmth. It’s a place where friends and family are meant to feel instantly comfortable - where conversation, laughter, and music blend naturally into the atmosphere.
“We want our guests to feel at home - welcomed, relaxed, and a little spoilt,” the owners smile. “That sense of comfort is what makes a house a home.”
Their home is designed for living - for sharing moments, entertaining guests, and finding peace in the everyday. The large kitchen forms the heart of the home, a place for cooking, talking, and gathering. The cinema room offers calm and retreat, while the library and office reflect quiet focus and reflection.
The Sound of Everyday Life
Music plays an essential role in this home - a constant backdrop that enriches every moment. From ambient sounds during morning routines to jazz, classical, or pop in the evenings, the soundscape changes with the day’s rhythm.
“Music is an integral part of our everyday life,” they explain. “Ambient music that stimulates the senses is important - it brings balance in a hectic lifestyle.”
For the couple, good sound is not a luxury; it’s a natural extension of their aesthetic and their values.
“Good quality sound is like good quality furnishing, food, or clothes. We’re very quality-conscious and believe in striving for excellence in life - sound is a crucial factor. We love music, and we love good sound.”
Choosing Artcoustic
When it came to integrating audio into their home, there was no question that performance and design needed to coexist seamlessly. That’s where Artcoustic came in.
“We chose Artcoustic for its high sound quality and the fact that it’s hand-built and minimalistic. And we loved that we could have the speakers in the exact same colours as our walls and wall panels. It’s amazing not having to compromise between sound and aesthetics.”
The result is a system that delivers reference-level sound performance while blending invisibly into the architecture. Across rooms - from the smaller speakers in the library to the larger models in the kitchen and cinema - the audio is consistent, dynamic, and beautifully natural.
“What’s amazing is that the same quality of sound is felt throughout our home. Whether it’s movie night, background music, or a party, the experience is equally impressive everywhere.”
Creating Atmosphere Through Sound
The couple’s appreciation for detail extends far beyond the visual. The sound system, though discreet, defines the home’s emotional landscape. It sets the mood - calm and comforting, energising, or intimate - depending on the time of day or the people present.
“When our children are around, and the music is playing softly in the background, it creates that perfect ambience - the comfort of being home, together with the people we love.”
Their Artcoustic installation is more than just a sound system; it’s part of the home’s personality - a subtle layer that completes the experience of living beautifully. It demonstrates how craftsmanship and technology can quietly support architecture and lifestyle without overpowering them.
In this Copenhagen apartment, form and function meet in perfect harmony. It’s a space that celebrates design, sound, and the joy of living well - a testament to the idea that true luxury lies not in excess, but in the details that move you.
