An artist and her engineer husband had recently purchased a loft in Providence’s jewelry district. 3six0 Architecture was asked to convert the loft into a live/work area for the two individuals, maintaining distinct spaces to be uniquely designed for each client. The “double loft” was designed to accommodate the live/work habits of two people with vastly different professions. The architectural spaces of the double loft are designed to support and represent the independent arrangements of this couple. The opposing elements (cloud and stack) provide a language for the narrative of two lives, individual, and intertwined. Stack is very constructed; you can see the parts, the angular adjustments and the material, usually wood or mdf with steel details. They organized the two loft spaces by mingling cloud and stack into walls and storage spaces.
