Elegant Scandinavian luxury resides at Square Gardens, a co-living community in Manchester, England.
Square Gardens featuring Audo Copenhagen
A Celebration of Communal Living and Scandinavian Sophistication
In the heart of Manchester, Square Gardens reimagines the essence of modern co-living. Designed by KKA in collaboration with Simpson Haugh, this thoughtfully curated space offers residents a refined balance of comfort, function, and aesthetic warmth. With furnishings and lighting by Audo Copenhagen, the interiors embody a sense of effortless Scandinavian luxury that elevates every shared moment.
At the core of the design lies the Hashira Collection, its softly diffused light shaping an atmosphere of serenity throughout the space. The Hashira Wall Lamps line the corridors and lounges, casting gentle illumination that guides movement while fostering calm. Suspended above communal areas, the Hashira Cluster Pendant Lamps bring sculptural dimension and a poetic rhythm to shared spaces, setting the tone for conversation and connection.
Balancing form and material, the Androgyne Side Table in dark-stained oak and Kunis Breccia stone introduces an artful interplay of masculine strength and feminine grace. Nearby, the Tearoom Lounge Chair and Ingeborg Sofa invite residents to unwind—each piece exuding soft curves, tailored upholstery, and a timeless sense of tactility that turns gathering spaces into sanctuaries.
Above, the Collector Chandelier punctuates the room with refined geometry, acting as a centerpiece that draws the eye without overwhelming the atmosphere. Every detail, from the grain of the wood to the subdued lighting palette, is meticulously selected to foster intimacy and belonging in a shared environment.
Through the vision of KKA and the architectural precision of Simpson Haugh, Square Gardens stands as a contemporary interpretation of community living, one that honors individuality while celebrating collective experience. The result is a harmonious dialogue between architecture, design, and the human spirit, illuminated beautifully by Audo Copenhagen.
