From the architect. We would like to present you the reconstruction project of the loft's space into the private accommodation in an apartment building. The building was built in the late nineteenth century.

Floor Plan

Both district and the building itself are located in the preservation maintenance zone. The tenement is located in the compact residential of the street, it has 4 floors, a cellar and an attic.

Such space requires an individual approach as well as the application of unusual solutions, we did not change the cubature, gross covered area, its height, length, width and the number of the stores, however we have created a new history of the place!

We tried to keep the effect of the maximally open space and the exposure of the important elements for us. Among them you can find the roof construction and the original height of the rooms.

Very clearly exposed wooden roof construction gives the interior the flavor and in our opinion  – it highlights its uniqueness. By creating a new function of the loft, we felt as if it was our operating pattern; the look of the interior is dedicated by the roof construction.

Multiple number of windows in the whole loft allows the sun a better exposure of all the rooms. Moreover, the big white planes of the walls and ceilings do brighten the space. Lighted by the skylight, the  open kitchen interior is a link between the private sphere of the owners and the living and the guest room. The large kitchen with a huge cooking island is an excellent place for cooking and spending relaxing time in the hammock.

As well as the tenements, we also love the natural materials. Here, except for the pine wood, the brick  played the major role. We used it on the knee walls, and on the whole length of the tenement's wall, By doing it – we have emphasized the length of the apartment.

The living room is a separate big part of the whole open daily space. This is  place with the TV and comfortable, variable seats, located around. It is a perfect space to relax with friends

The bathroom, dedicated mainly to the guests, but used as a toilet on a daily basis, has a basin, lavatory and the shower. Another bathroom was designed in the bedroom. The idea of  an open bathtub next to the bed is the removal of all the barriers between these spaces. The bathtub is located in the bay window, with an easy access to the wardrobe located in this room. Next to it, we have additionally designed a separate box with the toilet and the shower.

The attic's floor is a mix of the pine wood and the very dark gres tiles with an interesting and irregular surface. We kept the interiors in the earthy tones, that together with the timeless whiteness present themselves the prettiest.

Product Description. We wanted to keep  the original character of the tenement that's why one of the most important materials we used are definitely the original sliced bricks and also wooden floors (pine).
