Vipp Chimney House is Located on the Harbor of Northern Copenhagen

— September 10, 2021 — World
The Vipp Chimney House is located on a historical landmark. It occupies a century-old water pumping station with a 35-meter tall towering chimney on the harbor of Northern Copenhagen. It was recently converted into a two-bedroom guesthouse by the Studio David Thulstrup architectural firm.

The renowned Danish architect firm offers guests a one-off design experience. Created for Danish homeware brand Vipp, the hotel concept transformed the heritage building into a cozy and elegant loft apartment. Boasting 200 square meters, the apartment features two bathrooms, a study, a library, and a late open-plan space. The apartment is fully equipped with a Vipp Kitchen and complete with a dramatic U-shaped steel staircase that divides the dining and living areas.
