A converted coffee machine factory

Posted on Wed, 31 May 2023 by KiM

The idea was to give new life to an industrial space once occupied by a coffee machine factory. I wanted it to be a modern and welcoming loft, with a shaft in the heart of the house, which acts as a garden and amplifies the brightness, giving a sense of continuity between inside and outside.
This is my dream loft layout – with a central courtyard I would layer with plants. The Milanese House – Via Ventura – a fun and eclectic space designed by Milan-based Nap Atelier that is filled with vintage goodness.

A rustic barn in Oxfordshire

Posted on Thu, 13 Apr 2023 by KiM

This rustic barn in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire is a texture-lovers dream. Exposed brick walls, rough-hewn reclaimed wood, steel and add in some crittall windows and you have an industrial treasure trove. Barn living at its finest!

It took 3 long years to convert this former watermill in Alsace, France built in 1565 into the beautiful hotel villa it is today. The mill is registered as historic and therefore took extra care, but the resulting guest house with 5 unique rooms and spa that contains a hammam and a whirlpool are absolutely stunning and I love how unique each space is. Bits of history showing through in the architecture along with the amenities and comfort of more modern furnishings – the amalgamation makes for a perfect getaway.

A 300 year old barn is transformed into a weekend retreat that is modern, minimal and really REALLY cool. I’m dreamy about this kind of rustic/modern/industrial/loft space for as long as I can remember. By Studio Todd Raymond. (Photos: Adrian Gaut)

Loft love

I think I should have called this post “Leave you wanting more”. Light-filled, vast windows, fabulous furniture and I’m sure so so much more. Enjoy the little that we can see and daydream about the rest. Tribeca loft by Olivia Stutz Design.
