Loft

I´ve had images from this loft by architechts Fernlund + Logan

among my inspirational pics for a long, long time.

And I just can´t think of a more perfect place.

Residental loft, Renwick Street, New York, 1996

"Two adjacent floors of a former factory were joined by removing a quadrant

of the floor area between them, creating a double-height space that links all parts

of the loft. A large, new opening in the exterior wall replaced two rows of

existing windows. Industrial steel sashes were used to break down the scale of

the opening and to reference neighboring natural-light factories.

Public areas on the lower level utilize a concrete floor—a nod to the building's

past— while wide-board oak was used for the stairs and upstairs bedrooms.

The building’s rough textured columns and beams became a counterpoint

to the smooth surfaces of the new walls."
