REDTENBACHERGASSE LOFT




REDTENBACHERGASSE LOFTREDTENBACHERGASSE LOFT01
In the rear patio of a block of flats in Vienna's district 16, there is an old industrial building that, for a long time, sat vacant before being converted into this family loft. The main door leading into the apartment is located at one of the extremes and opens onto an 82 ft-long space. In that space, the structure
is presided by the light that flows in through one of the sides. This fascinating length is one of the most outstanding elements of the project. Along the left side of the corridor are the children's room and bathroom, the only real enclosed spaces in the loft. The wall continues, formed by glass elements that separate the corridor from the rooms. Behind the last stretch of this corridor is the master bedroom, which opens out onto the large space that accommodates the rest of the zones of the dwelling. Sleeping, cooking, eating,
playing or relaxing next to the chimney are all possible in this one space.
Next to the stairwell, which leads to the studio and garage, there is a wall displaying all the photographic art belonging to the owner. The stairs supported by a steel structure that is surrounded by a wire mesh. This leads downstairs to the studio and the garage. The kitchen has been designed the owner's liking and is the result of the union of his needs and spatial comfort. The same applies to the bathroom, which includes a bright yellow color for the floor, furniture, and some features of the kitchen. Adjacent the corner that accommodates the dining room is an exit to the exterior patio, which considerably increases the size of the dwelling. Glass and wood combined with steel are the real main players of this loft, which is set off by bright yellow features.
