The architect who designed this loft believes that minimalist, cold spaces have no place in the future of innovative loft design. Hence the project involved giving this renovated old warehouse the look of an apartment, while conserving some of the features inherited from its industrial past. Comfort and functionality merge with great results on both floors of this loft. Two levels facing each other prevail on the ground floor, where the dining room, the kitchen, a small work area, and a guest room are located. These two upper platforms house a large lounge on one side and an office on the other. Both parts are connected by a walkway surrounded by a low wall, behind which two staircases at either end face each other in absolute symmetry. On the office side there is a large library that runs along practically the whole wall and conceals the master bedroom, which includes a dressing room and en suite bathroom. In this way the desired intimacy and privacy is created in certain zones of the loft without the need for obstructing doors. In order to reintroduce and respect the original ambient of the loft certain original elements have been conserved, such as the magnificent arched cement ceiling and the network of beams that have been simply stripped. Moreover an industrial system of heating was fitted that runs along the entire ceiling. The design of the air ducts is in keeping with the desired industrial factory atmosphere.
The white and black walls and furniture combine well with the worn gray of the cement. Red and shades of orange add touches of color in the dining room chairs and the first-floor office, as well as in the lamps and paintings. Works of art and photos decorate nearly all of the walls of this duplex loft, bringing great personality to the space.
