The Audo — Copenhagen, Denmark

Even though it’s over 40 years old, Danish design brand Menu’s vision feels fresh and future-forward with its latest HQ move. The revamp takes it to the Århusgade district of Nordhaven, but this time, the public was invited to join. Understanding our blending worlds of work and life, Menu’s new HQ is a hybrid concept titled The Audo, consisting of boutique hotel, café, co-working space and concept store.

The 1918 building – a boathouse and Neo-Baroque residence - has been given a minimalistic makeover. Here, the Danish firm developed concrete flooring and walls and used warming brass accents to lift the industrial architecture. 

The Audo residence is a 10 room hotel that offers a unique loft-style retreats. Every room has its own decoration, but all of them have beds by Dux, chalky-finished walls by St. Leo, and Dinesen flooring underfoot.
