The Loft

  • Type: Private Residential

  • Size: 250 m2

The large open volume of this shell-and-core space was an opportunity to create an ultimate urban space. Without walls to define rooms, the boundaries between areas of functionality are soft. The ceilings were kept as high as possible. Barriers were removed, and especially so barriers to light.

The kitchen island takes centre-stage, a magnet for a social life. The sculptural staircase conceals series of pull-out drawers. A large niche has been turned into a double-deck library accessible through an alternating staircase.

The base colour palette has been intentionally restrained to neutral hues to allow the gradual layering of additional colours.
