Capps Loft – Industrial in White
Designed for a young executive whose love of contemporary art and minimal environments led the architects to create this light filled space. The existing envelope of this richly textured warehouse space was painted “gallery†white from floor to ceiling.
A Labor Of Love In Poland
An apartment in Poland, interiors designed and fabricated by the husband/wife design team of BioLINIA, Becky Nix & Olek Zemplinski, is a labor of love indeed. The 3 year project included a move to Poland, a budget of $60,000, transforming 1,023 square feet from mere walls into a modern custom home
Industrial Eclectic
Israel-based Ando-Studio, designed this industrial loft out of a desire to create an open and eclectic free space, with plenty of attention paid to detail. The material palette consist mostly of wood, silver metal and glass. All combined to make the ultimate industrial loft.
The Edison
The Edison, that you can find in the basement of the Higgins Building in LA, was once home to the city’s first power station. Built by brass-baron Thomas Higgins, who had a dream: to move downtown to LA’s then-vacant west part, where Wall Street West is today. Of course, the center of the city was to be his own building, sporting all advances of science: lightning-quick electric elevators, lighting, clean running water.
Loft Lichttoren
The Lichttoren from 1909 is one of the historical factories of Philips in Eindhoven. During the twentieth century, light bulbs and other products have been produced and tested in the tower on the head of the building.
Loft in Old Prague
Another great example that lofts can not only be found in the likes of New York. The project by D3A, a Czech interior design consultancy turned an industrial space on two levels to a home, cultivated by cleverly chosen color scheme, lighting and furniture.
Police Gymnasium Loft
Located in the coveted Police Building, in New York’s Little Italy, within the walls of the former gym, this architecturally unique condominium thus features soaring ceilings and many large skylights, making for a light and airy feel.
Bolko Loft
This is not your typical city loft: out in Silesia, Poland, next to crumbling red-brick houses, located near a former mine’s shaft. Sounds gray and gloomy. Designed by Przemo Lukasik of the architectural office Medusa Group architects, this loft is an example of – still rare in Silesia – adaptation of industrial architecture.
Home Contained
Now this is seriously cool and environmentally friendly at the same time: Debbie Glassberg of Kansas City knew if she could make a home her family would feel comfortable living in, she could do it for others. That’s the idea behind a home made primarily out of five metal shipping containers at 60th and Charlotte Streets in Kansas City, called Home Contained. Read along…
Silo Sweet Home
Bruce Townsley’s home must be among the most secure in the world – he lives in a former missile silo that can withstand even a nuclear blast.
