Fridays should be about good things, and lofts are reeeeeally good things. I will be featuring 2 lofts today, and this one is an absolute dream of exposed brick, beams and columns, modern additions and the coolest concrete wall. This 2,000 sqf renovation of a former garment factory floor in New York’s Lower East Side serves as a casual 1-bedroom loft apartment for the owner, and a place to entertain and relax. The layout provides a maximum of open studio space and a secluded sleep and bath area. Inspired by the rustic materials in the previous manufacturing space , the aesthetics of the loft combines rough and simple materials with bold industrial objects and colors.

I’m in Redfern in inner-city Sydney and I’m stalking what appears to be your typical historical terrace house… until you go inside. Holy exposed brick Batman! That must have been some sandblasting job. The 1880s building now has an industrial vibe over 3 levels. I’m not sure how I feel about this house. I want to believe that it is the photography that has me holding back because I love it on the video. Link here while it lasts.

Exposed brick + massive black framed windows + double height living space + dreamy leather sofa + black SMEG + luxurious bathtub + puppy = LOFT HEAVEN by A+Z Design Studio.

Stalking a Victorian era residence in Glebe, Sydney. Renovation design by Michael Bechara. Love the contrast of old against new, the 6m high atrium and the enviable art collection. Link here while it lasts.

I’m a sucker for adaptive re-use and warehouse conversions are high on my list of design lusts. I’m head over heels for this renovation by Melbourne-based bg architecture. The exposed brick walls, the art, the light flooding in through the internal courtyard. Perfect.
