This stunning loft in the historic Flatiron district offers pristine, modern finishes while maintaining the old world charm of its history as an industrial space.
Dutch architect Laura Alvarez transformed a dark, dingy, two-storey apartment in Amsterdam into this bright, light-infused loft space we’d die for.
An old movie theatre has been transformed into an incredible loft space, situated in the old city of Ghent, Belgium. The owners created their very own ‘Dollywood’. The interiors feature concrete flooring, dramatic high ceilings and clerestory windows with ample daylight.
Architect Thomas Wienands made great use of the existing structure and material character of this wide-open loft space, leaving as much of the wall and vaulted-ceiling brickwork exposed as possible – as well as massive steel columns, reinforced with I-beams and held in place by giant-sized rivets.
Just as one of the previous ones, this one is designed by Ike Kligerman Barkley architects. I’ve found it on the architects’ site, not too much is known about it apart from the description.
The open loft space splays out to fifty feet at the far end, while the roof‘s angular trajectory culminates in a 24 foot wall of glass through which southern light pours in to illuminate the space.
