The living room is very large (60 by 30 feet) and it has a great-looking gray couch with plenty of space around. The red accent color is repeated on the columns, doors and even on the carpet.

This home has an office area and a private vestibule off the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. All bedrooms are well proportioned with built-ins and custom closets. The master bedroom has a huge walk-in closet and a master bath with a double sink and separate bath and showers.

The rooms are separated from the living area to preserve the privacy of each family member, but the day part is completely open, impressive volume, allowing the installation of large furniture, a perfect place to receive and to party.

Gothic Industrial Loft in Salt Lake City https://www.loftenberg.com/gothic-industrial-loft-in-salt-lake-city/ https://www.loftenberg.com/gothic-industrial-loft-in-salt-lake-city/#respond Wed, 10 Feb 2016 10:36:43 +0000 https://www.loftenberg.com/?p=10338 When Hollie and Sean Strasburg bought their loft in the Tire Town building in Salt Lake City, they knew immediately that they wanted to bring the space back to its industrial roots. Thus started the story of this gothic industrial loft.

gothic industrial loft

Built in 1925 to house the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, this fantastic red-brick building is currently home to Cucina Toscana, an Italian restaurant on the main floor and two living spaces above. It’s a prime spot, to put it lightly: the lucky owners are hovering above Pioneer Park on the corner of 300 south and 300 West. These two homes encompass the perfect way to live downtown without sacrificing outdoor space.

gothic-industrial-loft-11

The designers started stripping away much of what the last tenant had installed in order to reveal all the raw and simple beauty of the space’s original form. From there, they started carefully adding layers back on that worked harmoniously with the industrial vibe. The magic lays in the richness, created with specific materials. Aged, natural, cherry-finished cabinets in the kitchen, dark colors, black painted metalwork: it’s all delightfully juxtaposed by bright white walls and massive windows that allow for copious amounts of natural light throughout the space.

gothic-industrial-loft-13

A smart move in retaining this building’s old charm was by keeping the brickwork exposed. The brick walls offer a new look while preserving the history and the original character of the edifice.

gothic-industrial-loft-18

The master bath is a dish of gothic industrial: a metal/chain chandelier over a custom, matte-black-enameled tub that’s perched opposite the ebony-stained cabinets. The walls are lined with 48” wood tile planks, which add a lot of texture and a touch more drama. The designers managed to add an organic element to an otherwise very hard and raw space with the grass-cloth wallpaper, and to accentuate the high ceilings, we hung 72” pendants from the ceiling over each nightstand. But the highlight is that double-sided fireplace (so you can take your romance in the bedroom and the living room).

Bohemian New York Loft https://www.loftenberg.com/bohemian-new-york-loft/ https://www.loftenberg.com/bohemian-new-york-loft/#respond Mon, 01 Feb 2016 21:07:35 +0000 https://www.loftenberg.com/?p=10100 A great room is the focal point of this bohemian New York Loft. Expertly arranged bookshelves, plants and rugs divide the room up into distinct areas. In the sitting area, you’ll find low-slung sofas with patterned prints and large artworks on the walls. On the left side, the master bedroom is also big and bold, with a king-size bed, oversized photographs and a wood-panelled ensuite.

Back across the living space, you’ll find the kitchen, which has transparent navy-blue cabinets. Behind the curved wall to the left of the dining area is a bathroom and pair of bedrooms, decorated with peppy colours. Down the hall you’ll find a bedroom with lofted bed, a double bedroom and another bathroom.

All rooms show off bohemian character, the master bedroom is big and bold, with oversized photographs; you’ll find the kitchen, which has transparent navy-blue cabinets. Using simple color combinations made each space work as magic that created a spacious feel. The design of this Bohemian New York Loft is very eclectic and a lot of attention was taken for every detail when designing, to expose all details at every corner.

bohemian-new-york-loft-19

It was in the 1960s that artists began flocking to a neighborhood south of Houston Street, drawn by the abandoned manufacturing lofts with high ceilings, abundant natural light and most importantly, cheap rent. As the bohemian set refashioned these wrecks into live-and-work spaces, they dramatically transformed the neighborhood too.

bohemian-new-york-loft-21

Today’s Soho is just as irresistible to creative types – albeit the polar opposite of the starving artist variety. The neighborhood’s historic cast-iron buildings now hold some of the most jaw-dropping price tags in the country, and it shows in the company they keep.

Design stalwarts Prada and Chanel rub elegant shoulders with a few choice art galleries, a Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant and an Apple store.

A casual Saturday brunch at Balthazar typically includes a side of runway model or two. A stroll down the cobblestone streets may come with a celebrity encounter, complete with paparazzi in hot pursuit.

Yet there are still pockets of Soho that retain that old edge, and there’s always something to discover at every turn: a corner pub that has been serving up tipples since 1847, a tiny bakery that churns out pastries with cult followings or a club filled with beautiful people that’s concealed underneath a taqueria.

Brutalist Concrete House in Mexico https://www.loftenberg.com/brutalist-concrete-house-mexico/ https://www.loftenberg.com/brutalist-concrete-house-mexico/#respond Sun, 31 Jan 2016 17:48:02 +0000 https://www.loftenberg.com/?p=10079

A concrete house may seem an odd choice for a family of four. But for Pedro Reyes, Carla Fernández and their two young children, there are few spaces sweeter than their sprawling Brutalist abode. At first glance, it’s a sea of gray. But a closer look and a half-hour’s conversation reveals its playful peculiarities – and its purpose.

concrete housebrutalist-concrete-house-11

More than just a living space, the house serves as creative headquarters for both Pedro, a renowned sculptor, and Carla, a fashion designer whose cutting-edge garments have found an eager audience worldwide. For the couple, who share a fierce passion for the preservation of Mexican culture, it’s also the physical embodiment of a long-standing mission to draw attention to the country’s vibrant artistic history and traditions. Strategically placed hits of lemon yellow and magenta are a tribute to Mexican architect Luis Barragán and a number of the walls are built of cement bricks handmade in-house by community craftsmen. “Our home is a laboratory,” says Pedro.

brutalist-concrete-house-8

This concrete house is also something of an exhibition space, housing a diverse collection of Pedro’s furniture and sculptural work, Carla’s textiles and a vast array of books. On top of it all, however, the home is a gathering place, host to a revolving door of visiting friends, family and local artists, many of whom take up temporary residence while working with the couple on their many collaborative endeavors. “It’s a social space,” says Pedro.

We are always welcoming guests or hosting the artisans on our teams. It’s a little like living in a factory – but also a playground, too.

Crosby Street Loft by DHD Architects https://www.loftenberg.com/crosby-street-loft-2/ https://www.loftenberg.com/crosby-street-loft-2/#respond Tue, 26 Jan 2016 09:09:20 +0000 https://www.loftenberg.com/?p=9990 The Crosby street loft building is located on a cobblestone block in the Soho Cast Iron Historic District. Built in 1882, it was formerly a department store, and converted in 2001 to a 10-unit loft condominium. The renovation of a second floor loft retains and celebrates many of the original details, including generous, open spaces, 14 foot plus ceiling heights, Corinthian-style columns, and a continuous 120 foot exposed brick wall with integrated archways. The magically eclectic design was a collaborative process, integrating elements discovered on the client’s world travels. Design features include a 12 foot tall glass lounge, two fireplaces, a smart home system, a stone, cold-rolled steel and custom walnut cabinet kitchen and living room, and a luxurious master suite reminiscent of a 5-star hotel.

Wrigley Building – Unit 315 https://www.loftenberg.com/wrigley-loft-unit-315/ https://www.loftenberg.com/wrigley-loft-unit-315/#respond Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:08:02 +0000 https://www.loftenberg.com/?p=9912 Unit 315 is a residential project created by the Canadian builder Dennis Dorion and his wife Dorion Scott. … Read more]]> Unit 315 is a residential project created by the Canadian builder Dennis Dorion and his wife Dorion Scott. The project is located in the Wrigley Building – a former chewing gum factory in Toronto, Canada, which was converted into apartments during the late 1990s.

Unit-315-Loft-Toronto-02

 

The interior of the apartment is contemporary and rich in details, integrating artistic elements with industrial ones. The predominant color on the walls and ceiling is white and a dark reflective floor offers contrast along with the dark tones of the side walls that are painted black.

Unit-315-Loft-Toronto-05

The overall neutral tones create a very elegant ambiance with long white curtains adding privacy and large windows allowing a good view of the surroundings. The lounge area is separated from the kitchen through a large island and the second floor is accessed through a spiraling staircase that also acts as a sculptural element in the living area. Another interesting characteristic of this space is that there is a separate room for the motorcycle so that it also becomes a part of the ambiance.

Unit-315-Loft-Toronto-03

The Wrigley Lofts are the real deal. This is the type of place you picture when you think of a hard loft. No cookie-cutters here. There are multiple lofts in this former factory – each unit is unique with different finishes and layouts – from the floors to the lighting. The first owners got the space from the developer about as raw as possible so each person put their own stamp on their unit. Because the ceilings are so extraordinary, many units have a mezzanine level and some even have direct freight-elevator access. Like in the movies. Except you are the hero.

Suites feature original industrial windows, 14-foot ceilings, original concrete mushroom-style columns and the exposed pipes and duct work that one would expect in a true hard loft conversion. One of the best things about this building is the uniqueness of individual suites. Original purchasers of this building bought raw space from the developer for about $100/square foot, and each owner made these blank canvasses their own – consequently no two suites in the building are alike.
