Blur Loft: Flexible Spaces

loft-design-blur

Occupying the top floor of a former cold storage facility, this 2,600 sq. ft. loft apartment enjoys urban views of Milwaukee’s skyline. One of the things I like about this modern loft design is its versatility; translucent sliding panels, that can be completely retracted or closed off, blur the edges of the open plan space creating separate private rooms or utilizing the entire space for entertaining.

Loft in Paris: windows treatment

loft-design-paris-windows

This amazing creation is a part of a renovation project of an old printing house in Paris. The loft belongs to a couple and their four children, and I must admit I have never seen anything quite like it.

The new 180 sq. meter construction is halfway between a piece of furniture and a building. I am mesmerized by the different window layouts, which are constructed from thick, raw pine wood roughly assembled. This wonderful concept of room dividers connects between a mixture of spaces, allows natural light to filter in, while creating new storage space, bookcases, a desk or simply an opening.

Octave Illa: Magazine Wall

office-design-octaveilla

Look what I found in an old textile manufacturing hall in Stockholm, Sweden. It took me a couple of minutes to fully understand what I’m looking at… A colorful, pixelated wall that seems to be in constant movement. It has the most vibrant presence, and it’s made of stacked bundles of unsold magazines. Imagine, a magazine wall, like no other. Continue reading
