Baltimore Loft |
||
|
This recently completed loft renovation is on the top
floor of an old warehouse building in Baltimore's Federal Hill.

Existing walls between rooms were removed, and a shiny blue epoxy floor connects the different spaces. |

A 1980’s
condominium was gutted to the studs and room defining walls were removed.
A loft living space was created with a social kitchen open to the Living
and Dining areas. Instead of walls, freestanding custom cabinetry
defines the limits of the new kitchen. A large bow window was added
making the kitchen area roomier, creating space for a large table as well
as a sofa and arm chair. The focus of the kitchen is an Italian
marble work table that allows both cooking production and dining.
The goal of the design was to create a kitchen that integrates active
cooking, free flowing socializing, with a premium emphasis on the
conversational participation of the cook. |

Existing windows were replaced with large pieces of
fixed glass, and other windows were added.
Light troughs were carved out of the existing ceiling (shown above and below) to both create architectural interest and highlight display walls. The outdoor terrace (at left) wraps around two sides of the apartment and features large planters.
