Bleached walnut replaced cold concrete floors in this family-friendly renovation of a dated loft in West Chelsea’s late 19th-century Spears Building. To make the loft feel more welcoming, architects Ravi Raj and Evan Watts toned down the heavy industrial elements of the 2,700-square-foot loft with a warmer and lighter palette and added custom built-ins for a streamlined look. At the same time, the loft still preserves much of its historic appeal—from the exposed brick seen throughout the home to the oversized openings left intact.
Before: Sidney Migoski and her fiancé bought this 1912 brick bungalow in Detroit, Michigan, in 2019, and gave it a top-to-bottom remodel during the pandemic. “We wanted something with a lot of charm and a really good neighborhood,” says Sidney. “Just a little different than your cookie cutter suburban home.”
