The design solution for this apartment, converted from a turn of the century warehouse, evokes its original industrial vernacular by using exposed and darkened steel girders, poured and polished concrete flooring, salvaged bricks, and exposed heating elements.The floor plan is open and loft-like. Layered lighting and shading devices along the perimeter wall provide privacy, solar control and a theatrical effect. A curvilinear steel stair complements the rectilinear plan. The finishes and furnishings are modern yet warm.
