Is it a new apartment or Renovation ? New ( Gut Renovation done by developer )
How is the space arranged ? The kitchen is integrated to the living room , creating one space taking advantage of the large windows on the street facing side of the apartment . Bedrooms and family spaces are separate from the living area , creating a more intimate and private space .
The Building was converted from industrial to residential and kept this characteristic in the living area – Can you tell a little more ? The most notable characteristics are the original cast iron columns throughout the space .
What were the client ’ s requests ? The starting point was defining one area in the space that had an exotic feel . We came up with the concept of an “ opium den ” which guided the color pallet and finish selections throughout the apartment . It was also the clients request to add definition to various areas in the space as the apartment was delivered as a “ white box ” by the developers .
How did this Project fulfil client ’ s ideal of living ? In designing the space , we were able to create a warm and welcoming space without losing the openness that characterizes loft spaces .
