The home’s galley kitchen features cherry cabinetry and a concrete counter and backsplash—tying in with the concrete wall in the living room.
The loft’s entry includes wall-mounted and freestanding cherry storage units, conveniently positioned to tuck away outside items.
“The key detail for this door was the hinge being as inconspicuous as possible, while being structurally strong enough to ensure reliable functionality,” says Garneau.
A wall of cabinetry—white-painted cherry veneer with round recessed pulls—provides generous storage capacity, while acting as a dividing wall for the bedroom.
“We felt the apartment was often starved for light, so we wanted to inject our own sunlight into the space—on demand sunsets and sunrises!” says architect and interior designer Robert Garneau.
An orange resin door playfully pivots open and closed to partially separate the sleeping area from the rest of the apartment.
Original to the 1918 building, the wood columns and beams retain remnants of paint from years past. Opposite the columns, the live edge library wall is made from a single log, cut down the middle, and sliced into thick shelves.
