Nicholas Clark Architects have designed this Urban Loft interior in Chicago, Illinois.
This project brought many challenges due to the inherent limitations of the existing space. The space featured a mezzanine level with a small bathroom. Below the mezzanine was a small kitchen tucked into a corner and a large “storage” closet. Ceiling heights were just over six feet in the mezzanine, and 6 foot 8 inches in the kitchen space below.
A new floating stair consisting of bent raw steel, maple treads and cherry handrail was located to open up a space for a kitchen peninsula. Both bathrooms incorporate art glass windows to provide natural light to an otherwise dark, interior space. Floors and existing structural column are natural cherry. Furniture built-ins including the kitchen desk area, dining chairs, and media cabinet were also designed.
Full interior design services, including the selection of furnishings, window treatments and art consultation, were provided to achieve the entire look of this loft.
