“From start to finish, Ambiente has demonstrated an impressive ability to understand our needs and translate them into a well-thought-out and concrete design. Our new headquarters has been in capable hands, and Ambiente has created an interior that is both modern and functional, while respecting the building’s maritime history. The new surroundings have not only optimized our daily operations but also provide the ideal setting for internal collaboration.”
René Pickardt, Chief Financial Officer, H. Daugaard Customized Logistics
Daugaard’s headquarters in Toldboden at the Port of Kolding has been given a new lease on life through an extensive interior renovation and redesign. Drawing inspiration from the building’s history and the port’s maritime environment, Ambiente has created a modern workplace that harmonizes aesthetics, functionality, and history. The entire interior structure was transformed—walls were torn down, beams were sandblasted, a ventilation system was integrated, and a new floor plan was implemented to optimize the use of the 1,200 m². Every aspect of the project—from building permits to the smallest interior design details—was handled by Ambiente.
The renovation was carried out with respect for the building’s history, with original elements such as old doors and high-quality furniture being restored. The new design choices reflect the colors of the sea and natural materials such as wood, stone, and textiles. No detail has been left to chance.
To emphasize the unique atmosphere, several specially designed and crafted elements are incorporated into the interior design. The renovated space now features, among other things, a four-meter-long counter with storage space and a built-in bookshelf that contributes to the building’s historic character.
The result is a modern headquarters where original details also connect the building to its roots.
