The concept of the loft, with its fusion of concrete and brick, was meticulously embraced for this 150 m² two-level flat nestled "under the roof." The authentic brick texture, preserved from the original masonry, was deliberately left untouched to accentuate the contrast with premium materials. Opting for a monochrome color scheme, akin to a subtle, transparent backdrop, allows future furnishings to take center stage harmoniously. Bright accents on the furniture strategically punctuate the space, setting the perfect tone.
Adjustments were made to certain ideas due to the complexities and, at times, safety concerns surrounding their implementation. For instance, the original plan for movable glass showcases on the 1st floor had to be revised, as no manufacturer was willing to guarantee the structural integrity of such tall (3m) constructions. While alternative options were explored, they fell short aesthetically. Consequently, we opted for wooden batten display cabinets instead. Surprisingly, this adjustment has enhanced the coziness of the space, and we are pleased with the outcome.

Every detail and element within the space serves as an extension of the overarching concept. We particularly admire how the cast iron staircase seamlessly integrates, setting the tone for the entire area. The shutters adorning the windows and the shop windows delineating the 1st floor space contribute an undeniable charm to the overall ambiance.
Throughout the project, the client remained deeply engaged in all aspects, showcasing impeccable taste and a discerning vision. Together, we shared the ambition to transform the flat into a loft, and her boldness in decision-making brought us great delight. Working collaboratively, we were able to bring this shared vision to life with enthusiasm and creativity.
