BAUMAN LOFT

An excellent example of the red brick industrial architecture of the early 20th century
This project by NefaArchitects is located in a historical building of a tea sorting facility , freshly repurposed as a residential cluster . The building was designed in the early 20th century ( before1917 ) and is an excellent example of the red brick industrial architecture of that era .
For us , this job was particularly appealing because of the necessity to fit all the essentials of an apartment in such a compact cubicle space .
The solution was to introduce levels , using ceilings height ( 4,3m ); Entrance , sofa & kitchen area are located on the bottom level ; the Second level is raised to the height of the windowsill , and used for the bedroom compartment ; the Third level is bathroom and wardrobe .
