Once I was final in Copenhagen, I discovered myself choosing up a day by day espresso at Lille Petra, a restaurant designed and operated by &Custom and tucked into the courtyard of the model’s showroom. Now, &Custom extends its providing with Lodge Petra, a 40-room boutique resort in a landmark constructing meticulously restored by the model.
Like many buildings in Frederiksstaden, the construction is historic—designed by famend Danish Functionalist Kay Fisker. Accomplished in 1943, the Dronningegården advanced includes a collection of L-shaped buildings surrounding Adelgade and Dronningens Tværgade. The 1,550-square-meter area now dwelling to Lodge Petra as soon as housed Visitor Home Christian IV.
Right here, distinct design particulars stay: terrazzo flooring, handcrafted stair bannisters, brass fittings, and curved wooden accents. All components which have been rigorously preserved and restored to honor Fisker’s architectural legacy, subtly up to date with fashionable sensibilities. The result’s a residing archive of Danish design, set inside a bit of Danish architectural historical past. Lodge Petra opens this week in Copenhagen.
