A Design-Led Creative Stay in Copenhagen

On Sankt Peders Stræde, a narrow street in Copenhagen long known for its bakeries and small restaurants, photographer Michael Falgren created Noura Residency, a hybrid space that moves between apartment, studio, and creative venue. The project occupies two adjoining properties, transformed into adaptable interiors that host everything from fashion editorials and product launches to short stays and small gatherings.

The idea grew out of personal history: Michael’s family has worked on the street since the 1970s, and he had long imaged restoring one of its buildings. Today the spaces function as a kind of open framework—furnished with Danish design pieces and natural materials—but intentionally left flexible. Brands and collaborators move through regularly, using the rooms as a backdrop for photography, installations, and events. The result is less a traditional rental than a working interior—part residence, part studio, and part evolving showroom embedded in the city. Here’s a look around.
