With the moorings positioned significantly lower  than street level and the sloped banks lined with natural vegetation, this dwelling offers an introverted experience for inhabitants within the quiet and secluded area. the floor at the water’s surface contains the private bedrooms, offering privacy with the inherent landforms along with a living room which overlooks the gently rippling water. the upper level contains the public spaces which offers elevated views of the scenery from the kitchen and dining area.

The building was last renovated in the ’60s, and honestly, it shows. Full renovation would cost upwards of 3 million dollars, but these days its close surroundings are being completely remodeled, so there is hope.

Which is even better for the owners of this exceptional loft: it has the industrial look, the  bare beams, but when you step outside the building, you find yourself not in an industrial area, but in the middle of the city.

What makes it even more interesting is the tower. (yes, the apartment is in one of the big towers at the top!).

The view of the tower when you look up from the living room.

In a tower, you’ll see quite a lot of stairs.

It would have been difficult – and not too elegant either – to stack a wardrobe against the wall, so the owners opted for a freestanding one, also serving as a headboard on the other side.

The entire apartment is a single space, divided by sliding doors.

The licing room, in the middle of the tower is the heart of the house.

The circular layout warrants a similarly bold kitchen setup: the kitchen is also a one-off piece, created just for this space.

And of course, if nothing else matters, the view certainly does.

Oh, actually it’s currently available for rent, too.
