Spaces with Whitewashed Brick Walls

Take it from these spaces, a few coats of white paint on brick walls can turn an industrial environment into a luminous one without losing texture.

The original brick walls were preserved and painted white.

Architect Lukáš Kordík gave his own 516-square-foot flat in Bratislava a modern makeover. For just a little more than $23,000, he transformed his home from a thicket of small rooms into a continuous, light-filled abode. Busting through a few walls took up much of the scant budget, but Kordík—who works for the Bratislava firm Gut Gut—also managed to redo the electrical, pipes, sewage, and heating while imbuing the place with a hip, old-meets-new vibe.
