Loft Renovation
Master bath with frameless glass tile shower and cedar spa unit from Sunlighten.
A Viewrail floating stairway with cable railing. The company believes in elevating the stairway from a functional feature to a room’s focal point.
Living Level
The light-filled living area includes a Le Corbusier leather chair and a caned lounge chair. A door on the far wall opens up to a balcony space.
Full-height sliding doors blur the boundary between the interior and the garden outside.
Inside, the dining nook is similarly clad in Western cedar, augmenting the home's connection to the outdoors.
View from loft down to living.
New cable railings from Custom Steel on the loft showcase this beautiful living room with tongue and groove pine ceilings. 2-story wood-burning fireplace is original to the house.
In the lounge, a Theatre Two-Seater sofa joins two U-Turn Swivel Chairs, all from Design Within Reach. The rug is by Scott Group.
Inside, a suspended staircase rises up past the couple’s bookcase over a well-lit seating nook. Aalto stools by Artek join Eames molded plywood dining chairs by Herman Miller to give an especially modern touch to the kitchen.
The staircase works as a visual transition from the cozy first level to the more modern second floor. When standing downstairs, the staircase pulls away from the dark anchoring floorboards with angled steel beams, stainless steel cables, and wood caps. “It’s thin and light so that it wouldn’t impede connection to the first floor,” says Michael. “It’s meant to be pretty modern, but the wood cap softens the look a little, and makes the experience of touching the railing softer.”
