This modern renovation project done by Norm Architects (photographed by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen) is located in what used to be a torpedo boat hall from the nineties. The thoughtful interior of the apartment celebrates the historical significance and contemporary relevance of the original building.

In this modern renovation project, Scandinavian and Japanese design elements are merged for a tranquil and harmonious look that pairs well with the original steel structure of the building.

Natural oak wood cabinets and a stone island in a modern kitchen

The existing steel structure of the boat hall is enhanced by a custom kitchen design with natural oak wood cabinets and a modern kitchen island made of stone. These two materials add a rich, warm, and organic texture to elevate the space with timeless durability.

The oak wood and stone combination comes back in a custom wall shelf with a sliding door, which is ideal to place a few carefully selected decor objects.

An elegant and minimal living room underneath a modern steel staircase

The modern staircase features a sleek side panel in the same color as the wall behind it, making it blend in, while still serving as a striking sculptural element. The steps are made of oak wood, making a visual connection to the other oak elements in the renovation.

A minimal bedroom with an oak headboard and minimal storage

The upstairs bedroom features oak flooring, paired with a minimal oak headboard and custom white storage cabinets on top.

Simple black wall lamps and bedside tables made out of stone mimic the material palette of the downstairs kitchen.

A modern bathroom with a traditional washi paper screen

The modern bathroom features a custom stone sink built in between custom storage cabinets. The real focal point of this modern bathroom, however, is the traditional washi paper screen with an oak wood frame, which creates a serene and relaxing ambiance perfect for a bathroom.
