About the Loft Renovation
In the Leather District
The urban loft is a complete renovation which includes a kitchen, small office/guest room, master bedroom and bathroom. The design embraces an open floor loft layout typology while allowing for intimate moments though the use of transparent material and flexible wall partitions. The apartment is accessible and open, with every wall surface embedded with custom storage. At its intimate stage, the wall surfaces dynamically change, revealing translucent wall panels that can close or expose the raised master bedroom, the guest bedroom/office and the bathroom. The translucent wall panels create intimacy by establishing a relationship between rooms while allowing for privacy by functioning as a barrier. A spacious living area and custom, extendable dining table offer dynamic space for social activity.
