This beautiful apartment was designed by Alchemy Architects, home of the weeHouse. Great example of example of how modern design meets historic architecture to create a contemporary live + work environment that inspires, engages, humors, and offers respite!
The space is conceived as white on white and plays freely with concepts of old and new as a place for art. Within the home there is a house made from stacked timbers. Lights hang on pulleys and rough sisal rope. Tables roll on a 60foot-long track embedded in the floor. A state-of-the-art Valcucine kitchen coexists with industrial and IKEA components. A custom-built, 250-pound pivoting bedroom door rotates with the push of a finger. The 2,600square-foot living space is replete with 19th-century steel crossbeams, heavy timbers, and stone-and-brick arches – all pulled together by white cloud forms oozing through the gaps. This is the first loft project undertaken by Geoffrey Warner, AIA, and Alchemy Architects, a firm more noted for their work in modern and prefab architecture.
