Crosby Street Loft

We have featured many lofts on the blog over the years, but this one may be the most sexy, classy one, whilst still maintaining some industrial touches. This dream renovation was executed by dhd architecture + interior design. The Crosby street loft building is located on a cobblestone block in the Soho Cast Iron Historic District. Built in 1882, it was formerly a department store, and converted in 2001 to a 10-unit loft condominium. Our renovation of a second floor loft retains and celebrates many of the original details, including generous, open spaces, 14 foot plus ceiling heights, Corinthian-style columns, and a continuous 120 foot exposed brick wall with integrated archways. Design features include a 12 foot tall glass lounge, two fireplaces, Control4 smart home system, a stone, cold-rolled steel and custom walnut cabinet kitchen and living room, and a luxurious master suite reminiscent of a 5-star hotel.

Working on a Sunday

Tired of beige walls, industrial carpet, cubicle wall ugliness, fluorescent lighting and all the other fun things that go along with typical office life? I certainly am. Working in an environment such as this one would certainly make it easier to get up and go to work in the mornings. The lucky folks of Tel Aviv companies Jelly Button Games and Hamutzim Studio have this totally awesome workspace to look forward to each work day morning. Designed by Roy David Studio, this 700 sq m industrial loft space could not be more inspiring and fun. Guaranteed to make for some happy employees. (You can read all the details here).

An industrial loft in Salt Lake City

Serious loft love happening with this post right now. Located in the Tire Town building in Salt Lake City (built in 1925 to house the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company), the current owners wanted to bring this loft back to its industrial roots and enlisted City Home Collective for the job. There is so much to love about this space - the cherry-finished kitchen cabinets set against a brick wall, the gothic industrial master bathroom, the double-sided fireplace and of course, the fabulous lighting in the bathroom and bedroom.

Working on a Saturday

You know what I say about working on a weekend. If you have to drag your sorry self into work then let's hope it's somewhere stylish. I would have no trouble putting in the extra hours at the offices of New York-based architectural and interior design firm Incorporated. Very cool don't you think?

Stalking 1

We're in Camperdown, an inner western suburb of Sydney, thanks to one of my fellow stalking addicts who shared this link. Just down the road from the University of Sydney this modern "terrace house" couldn't be described as student digs. No it's more rustic meets sculptural meets industrial meets million dollar price tag. I would love to see this place in real life. I think the photos, especially of the upstairs bedrooms, don't quite do it justice. Link here while it lasts
