Challenge: to make an airy big industrial space like this to feel comforting, creating separations for guests and children, but at the same time maximize the space and to offer a feeling of size (greatness).
Situated on the ground floor in Nuremberger Nordstadt, this 172m² loft was divided into 3 areas (one for children, guests and parents). The open floor frame allowed greater flexibility that make the modern style so desirable.
Every space follows one another perfectly, nothing comes to break the perspective. A few new walls created a separate guest room with its own bathroom, two kids rooms and the master bathroom. Leaving the rooms just slightly open to one another maintained the loft's open feel.
Open concept is all about free flowing spaces.The kitchen is open to the rest of the loft space. The island creates plenty of counter space and serves as well as dining surface, while it gives it a sense of separation. Load-bearing column created an issue in a layout plan, but expanding it and giving him a purpose of storage, it became an instant eye catcher.
The white cabinets and frosted glass help bounce around the natural light, keeping the space bright.
Shiny, reflective pendant lights hanging over the island, and a frosted glass backsplash added a sense of glamour.
The bedroom, a real “glass-hut”, floor-to-ceiling glass with an open view to the garden dominates the room.
This bathroom is a great example of current trends in bathroom design: plenty of space, bright light, a great soaking tub and a walk-in barrier-free shower. Installed frameless glass door continues the feeling of openness and makes the space feel larger. Wall-mounted wooden console looks elegant and adds warmth and organic texture to the bathroom. The crisp, clean lines of a modern console sink look fresh with muted palette. Together they strike the perfect balance. Swapping out a standard-issue ceiling lamp for something more dramatic is a small change that made a very big impact. Lighting in the shower elevates showering experience to more than just the basic scrub and ensures safety in a wet environment.
Even the kids' bedrooms are following the minimalistic approach, yet by implementing lime green color and creative wall stickers it becomes creative and inviting place for playing.
The second bathroom has neutral color palette and by applying reclaimed wood planks (that can withstand damp conditions) to the wall, a serene feeling with rustic appeal is created. Wall sconces even out the overall lighting and decrease shadows at the mirror. The open shower with just the tiled wall separating it from the vanity gives the bathroom a nice feeling of unity. Tiled wall surrounding frameless glass window not only makes the shower feel bigger on
the inside, it also allows plenty of light in, becoming an instant focal point.
This minimalist urban garden is translating the whole interior concept to the outside so they
become one seamless natural connection. It's contemporary elegant design is achieved by using
simple materials and low maintenance planting.
