Loft Design

Open floor plan, unique furniture, fun colors, funky beds, interesting stairs, loft apartments are always fun to design. Its modern, simple and creative. For school I got to design a loft apartment and it was one of my favorite projects. It was the little things that really made the design, and the spatial relationships that were created. One aspect that I love and always find interesting about loft apartments is the stair design. The stair case can have a huge impact on a space and can be designed in so many different ways.

A sprawling Grid of timber cubes covers the ceiling of a restaurant.

There are a few things that I admire about this restaurant design. The first is obvisouly the design sculpture on ceiling. To me the ceiling is a clear canvas, an oppurtunity to be ceative. When you first walk into to a space the ceiling can easly draw your attention. So put as much attention and design into the ceiing as you would the rest of the space.

Second the use of such a simple material, taking the materials of our day (like timber) and converting them so that they become symbolic. 

Simple materials used in interested ways.

I am a huge fan of using light as a primary material when designing a space. 

“Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.” - Le Corbusier 

They use light here as an additional material to an already elegant palette. Light is used to define edges of materials and enhance linear elements. 

Haus im Haus, Hamburg Germany

Hamburg’s Chamber of Commerce required a more intensive use of their existing neo-classical building on Adolphsplatz.The new structure is composed of layers and planes, where lightness, immateriality and reflection contrast the solid, elaborate walls of the existing building. A variety of fascinating spatial solutions emerge within both the new structure and in relation to the existing building.
