Displaying posts labeled "Loft"

It’s Friday thankfully, and I have a massive of list of things I need to get done since I have the day off from my day job. I love the holidays, I just hate all the running around. Anyway, I have about 2 minutes to get this post done so please enjoy some lofty eye candy by Italian architect Roberto Murgia.

It had been a while since we’ve heard from Rodrigo Hirsch of Spanish architecture and interior design firm Planell-Hirsch (post here), so I was excited when he emailed with photos of their latest projects – LOFTS! These are 2 lofts in the Poblenou District, Barcelona – presumably in the same building as they’re pretty much identical. OMG – those windows! What a dream!!! I can’t stop looking at those massive curtains. Interesting that the steel beams have been painted white – not sure I would have done that but they do blend in and keep things light. And I adore the Normann Copenhagen Bell lights over the enormous dining table (I was drooling over them when I paid a visit to my favourite shop a couple of weeks ago). Great job Rodrigo!

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)

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.

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!
