LOFTGRANOLLERS

Located on the second floor of an old warehouse, the factory personality of this loft was rescued and emphasized in its design and conception, leaving elements such as the air ducts and the lighting structures in view. The pipes and the mass of spotlight rails run along the entire ceiling of the loft, which has been covered in a particle board, a material that acts as sound proofing and brings a modern and original air to the whole. The layout of the apartment starts from a central module in an eye-catching and warm orange color, which includes the service areas and acts as a dividing element between the day and night zone, situated on either side. Within the orange block that is a bathroom, divided again by the different utilities that are located on either side of a central corridor that runs from end to end. This structure has also been used to hold the kitchen cupboards and appliances on one of the outside walls. Just in front, a metal island provides the remaining functions of the kitchen, such as the work surfaces. The glass dining room table extends from this central island, achieving a superb visual harmony thanks to the blend of metallic and glass materials. Continuing on this side of the loft is the lounge—a large space where the shelving has been inserted into the walls, creating great simplicity. The low furniture and neutral shades enhance the height of the ceiling. On the other side of the cube is the bedroom—a simple space boasting a bed; an orange-colored lamp, which is concealed behind the back wall the central block; and a small wall, which serves as the headboard for bed. The floor has been paved in tiles of different shades of gray, and fittings are metallic in accordance with the style of the loft, where large openings have been maintained.

The orange block situated in the center of the loft serves to distribute the different spaces without utilizing walls or closures, which minimize the sensation of spaciousness. In keeping with its original industrial character, the loft features visible air ducts and light structures that run along the entire ceiling. The metallic structures of the doors and windows also enhance this characteristic aspect of the loft

The door-free bathroom is situated within the orange block, distributed on both sides of the central corridor. The bedroom is hidden by a simple structure of straight angles formed by the back wall of the bathroom and another wall. This wall also creates a corridor that connects the entrance with the rest of the loft, enabling the private zones to be concealed.
