Audo

As a boutique hotel residence, restaurant, café, concept store, material library, work and event space, The Audo is an ever-changing yet always welcoming home for international creative individuals to collaborate, experiment and inspire one-another.

Approaching the project with great respect for the former merchant’s building in Nordhavn – an area once dedicated to fishing and shipping and now characterized by newly erupted high rises, harbour front stores, cafés and public harbour baths all making Nordhavn a highly coveted neighbourhood in Copenhagen – the building’s neo-baroque façade from 1918 was preserved, while the interior has been completely restored and now resembles that of a collector’s home with curated art and design showcased throughout the space.

The exterior of the building has historical references to a period of time when buildings in Copenhagen were inspired by Greek and Roman architecture, entering the early dawn of modernism, while the inside was a rational and industrial concrete structure that allowed us to transform the building rather freely. It is always a challenge to refurbish such a building, as the demands of services needed are completely different from the original purpose and period of time in which the building came to be.

The Audo operates from the belief that knowledge-sharing drives creativity, builds healthier communities and can lead to higher quality work.

Tucked away on the top floor, the Audo Residence is a 10-room hotel that offers understated and intimate loft-style retreats – each suite offering its guests a unique stay. These abundant rooms help you feel right at home with carefully curated products and works of art including bespoke furniture, books, ceramics and home accessories. Choose your favorite colour story and sleep in a cosy yet spacious room under the exposed wooden beams that recall the rich history of the building.

The Audo Restaurant is the heart of our community. The casual, all-day eatery offers a selection of seasonal dishes made from local, organic ingredients. We welcome you to enjoy a freshly brewed coffee or a bite to eat, alone or in the company of likeminded individuals, in the thoughtfully furnished space.

The Audo Concept Shop is a monobrand store that offers Audo Copenhagen furniture, lighting and interior objects. Step inside to discover the different moments of life through a series of inspiring and intimate spaces created to put in practice the everyday beauty and function of classic and contemporary design. Much more than great design, it is also a space where design meets community – and where the true meaning of how we relate to objects and one another comes to light in a physical space

Working on the identity of the space and concept, Norm have been drawing on traditional norms of good design in order to connect the refined, modern interiors with the history of the building.

The Audo Residence is your home away from home. Here, we welcome you to unwind with all the comforts of home, surrounded by curated artworks, warm furnishings by Audo Copenhagen and thoughtful amenities.

“The building stands as a holistic house where the visitor will find that all functions are connected throughout the spaces and material palettes.”
