A light-filled loft

Posted on Sun, 8 Dec 2013 by KiM

I have been dreaming of tearing down my house and rebuilding for a few years now. The only way I would give up that dream without any doubt would be if I could find an amazing loft or some sort of industrial or some random location (church?) that I could convert into a residential space. If this loft designed by Egue y Seta fell into my lap I would be packing up all my crap and moving in tomorrow. It is absolutely beautiful. I would tell you what I love about this space but that would be EVERYTHING. Via Micasa. (Another amazing home by Egue y Seta here)

More loft love

OMG how I love this loft!!! It is a former carpet store located in Barcelona, 170 m2 of absolute dreaminess and is rented out as a location space. Those massive black framed windows are so beautiful and create so much light. How bit sad that the entire ceiling was painted white though. Via Shoot 115.

Wrightson Stewart

Brisbane based interior design firm Wrightson Stewart is on a roll this year. Amazing work and amazing recognition for their innovative, contemporary, masculine designs. Now they have been shortlisted in four categories at the Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) for 2013,  Event Design, Workplace Under 1000m2 (both can be seen here), Single Residential and  Designer of the Year Award (first time a Queensland firm has been shortlisted for the big gong). It’s easy to see why. Here is the warehouse apartment that has been garnering all the attention. So cool, so urban, with a minimal colour palette and clean lines with just a riff of retro. Congratulations WS!

A dude lives here

It really could not be more obvious that a guy’s guy lives here. I may be stereotyping but I’d wager a cat. It has everything a masculine pad could ever dream of – brick walls everywhere, steel beams, loftiness, reclaimed wood, a decent media centre, a just-big-enough kitchen to eat take out in….and it’s even got pets made out of conduit!

An air raid shelter turned loft

Posted on Sun, 6 Oct 2013 by KiM

My dream of living in a loft has never wavered, and the idea of living in a very industrial loft and having the challenge of warming the space up has always been intriguing. This loft isn’t necessarily all that warm and cozy, but I really love the dramatic vibe it gives off. It is a former Nazi air raid shelter (complete with WWII bullet holes) erected in 1942 in central Berlin, and is the home of ad agency founder and publisher, Christian Boros, and his wife, Karen. Formerly devoid of natural light, the homeowners had the 3000 sq m bunker completely reconfigured and added massive windows. They have an amazing collection of furniture (and art of course – love the upside down head!), and the dark flooring and concrete walls make it dark and moody but the windows keep it fairly bright. Oh, to have that much space….. (via Freunde von Freunden)
