Oh, Nikklas...!
Have I ever told you that when I moved to Chicago the wyphe and I considered getting a loft in Old Town? I know, crazy. Especially because now I’m convinced lofts are for only one person. There’s no place to go when you neeed a ‘me’ moment. Come to think about it, I think my fascination with lofts comes from repeated watchings of Flashdance.
I know. Delusional. But a boy can dream, no???
XOXO

ReplyDeleteI agree that a loft is ideally for one person or a couple, at the most. I really like what Nikklas has done with his build out. His changes give him the extras that many of us expect in a living space (e.g. a work area separate from the living space). I do wish there was an alternative to climbing a ladder to open the upper windows, though.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
I think a loft if for two people who REALLY like each other and know their boundaries.
DeleteBut I would LOVE to live in one, especially like this one. And I agree, people with mobility issues would need to get a ranch style house without those windows ...
XOXO
The video apartment is well done but not for me (claustrophobic bedroom and office thanks to ceiling height). I fantasized about a loft in NYC in the ´70s when then were huge empty spaces in old former industrial buildings. Over the years they’ve become apartments, sometimes with a bit more flexibility. Too bad I didn’t have money for one in the ´70s. The movie Ghost had a great loft space.
ReplyDeleteI think I could live with the bedroom and the office because I'm not that tall, so there's that.
DeleteAnd that Ghost movie loft was AWESOME. I so wanted that angel they have to crane in!
XOXO
I wanted that angel, too. I was always looking for something like that for our terrace on the beach. Glad I never found anything because we no longer have a huge terrace.
DeleteThose stairs with stocking feet would be a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteWell, yes.
DeleteBut somebody who lives there would know that, already.
Or would learn very quickly to find the socks with the little dots underneath they give you at the hospital....
XOXO
Im sorry.....I didn't notice the flat tour. There was a flat?????
ReplyDeleteI do love the floating staircase. And I love the style he has....and boyfriend has it!!! Im in love with the wall of Windows to the loft. Genus planning and aesthetic. To make if feel more open yet...a separate space. I said it once I'll say it again you do not need to live in a big space to have it feel chic Urban and swanky. Give me a little Bijou jewel box any day.
Hahaha
DeleteOf course you'd notice the other... attractions! LOL
I think the planning was very precise and very well executed. The layout is everything. And I agree, big spaces do not equal style...
XOXO
I agree that it's a space for a single person or a couple who don't really want Me spaces.
ReplyDeleteI'd need a much larger loft ...
xoxo
Absolutely.
DeleteAnd do you remember the loft Alex from Flashdance used to live in? THAT is the dream....!
XOXO
Just lovely. That is intelligent design at work there, folks. Really loved it. And that's saying a lot. (For you KNOW how much I dislike house porn!) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree.
DeleteAnd I'm glad you loved it! See? We all find THE space that would be perfect for us....
XOXO
