This design is a loft for two young people who are interested in art and design. The old building has a deep shape and used to be a garage. Because of the shape, I have integrated a patio to get more light into the various spaces. The patio split the loft in a ‘night part’ and a ‘day part’. A concrete line runs through the loft.
This emphasizes the depth of the loft and it also makes a passage and a living area.
Light is very important in this design. The passage from day to nightpart is made in yellow glass with wooden slats. This provides an interesting play of light on the floor. In the rear I made small perforations, inspired on the painting of ‘Klimt’. These give a playful pattern in the bedroom.
The bedroom is located in the back of the loft and has a nice view all over the house.
