Manhattan micro loft: on top of New York City’s roof

micro-loft-manhattan-sh

Given the remarkable way in which a footprint of just 425 sq ft has been put into excellent use in this small loft located on the top of a Manhattan’s Upper West Side brownstone building, the title “micro – loft” is but a humble way to describe it. Taking advantage of the space’s 25 feet height and the lucky event of it having access to a roof terrace, architect Specht Harpman and his design team successfully created four separate living platforms inserted within the space, providing rooms for all the essentials while still allowing the apartment to feel open and light filled.

Statement Loft in Barcelona: Ecological and Femenine

loft-design-barcelona

I always say that the most beautifully satisfying rooms have a statement piece – a piece that pulls them out of the every day ordinary. Of course a statement piece cannot hide a multitude of sins so a strong foundation is always required. That’s exactly where Vuong Interior Design began in the creation of this Barcelona loft. Daylight floods in to the kitchen through new skylights and plants and sun light wash in from the patio and entice you outside. The oiled oak floors are sun-kissed bronze in color and display their personality next to the pure white walls. Continue reading
