When it came to partitioning the space in order to accommodate the family’s private quarters, the designers cleverly incorporated steel-framed sliding doors with transparent or translucent glazing that allow for privacy without depriving natural light from the central common area or visibly diminishing its size. Aesthetically, the steel-framed doors perfectly complement the exposed brickwork and visible steel beams, part of the original building fabric that the designers have purposefully brought to light. The industrial sensibility of these elements is harmoniously counterbalanced by more refined features such as the stunning marble kitchen island, the minimalist timber cupboards, and the gleaming stainless steel cabinets.

Featuring impressively wide timber floorboards and furnished with an eclectic selection of bespoke pieces made from different types of timber, the interior design is a tribute to Scandinavian pureness jazzed up by the grittiness of the building’s industrial heritage. Exemplifying the Studio’s Copenhagen and New York dual offices, this intriguing juxtaposition is further evocatively conveyed by the two sole photographic subjects amongst the loft’s art collection: the sleek, understated and ever-cool Steve McQueen and the rugged, party-going Keith Richards.
