#factory loft

Beautifully converted former Spratts pet food factory was built in 1890 and is now a fabulous home in the Limehouse area of London.

The home is on 3 open plan levels.

The dining area was placed at the end of the main room.

The cabinets are on wheels, so they can be moved around. 

The kitchen is so spacious. How do they even clean all this floor space? They would need an army of Roomba’s - the home is over 3,000 sq. ft.

I wonder if the stairs are original.

There are rooms off the long mezzanine.

This one’s a casual family room. 

And, this is just a spare room, basically used for housing an exercycle, but it could be a 2nd bedroom.

Huge shower room.

The main bedroom is a nice deep forest green and has a window open to the floor below.

The main bath tiles tie in the green with ceramic tiles.

I would say that this is a garden in the back, but it appears to be the main entrance b/c the mailbox is next to the door.

The couple that bought this old brewery in Australia wanted to preserve the old brick structure, literally brick-by-brick, but also wanted to combine modern elements.

They dropped the ceiling, covering up a part of the wall, but left original niches. They chose copper accents in the kitchen and bath. The key material really was the existing brick work which was brought back to life via chemical stripping and re-pointing where necessary.

On the way into this room, the walls are lined with closets that cleverly look like they may have been original factory storage.

I like the choice of old brass fixtures and big metal bowls for sinks. Notice the steel beam sticking out of the wall.

Even the stair wells are nicely done. Great choice of a vintage looking fixture, lights the way. The white walls make the building a lot lighter.

Even a brewery has fancy embellishments. I think I would’ve painted around that to bring out the design.

With rooms to spare, the owner has plenty space for a swing. This is the top room in the tower, under what must have been the old chimneys. What fun!  

They certainly put enough closets in the halls.

Love the look of the bedroom- that copper tub.

The shower has a vintage look with subway tiles and a treadle sewing machine base for the sink.

An old candy factory in Toronto, Canada has been converted to eye candy, b/c it’s now a stunning penthouse loft. 

The eclectic interior is a marriage of materials (brick, wood, concrete, stone and steel, all in a single eyeful), styles (from modern minimalism to masculine maximalism) and eras, embracing the building’s historic past and its forward-thinking redesign.

Past the rich, glossy wood kitchen, a bright dining area sits before a large arched window set within a brick wall, overlooking downtown Toronto.

A continuous white brick wall is lined with interior windows and doors that connect the separate rooms on this level and enhance the converted look and feel of the home.

Platforms of various heights help to add visual interest to the wide open floor plan white defining the different living areas, from kitchen to dining area to den.

The office / library is all business, from floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, to the commanding desk framed by a pair of tusks. A sliding door can close off this space. I love that floating table!

To the rear of the library, a bathroom is wrapped in a rich brown tile accented by stark white.

A set of glowing stairs lead you up to the real eye candy on the floor – a steel case staircase, circling up through the space.

On ascending the steps, the cage makes way for frosted glass.

The stairs lead directly into the master suite, where bed and bath put you in the lap of luxury. In contrast to the dark main floor, the upper level is bright, white and flooded with natural light.

A wall of glass opens to the rooftop patio.

I love a bathroom with a chandelier. What an incredible home.

I posted a living room from a loft on my old blog and have been searching for the rest of the apt. ever since. I can’t believe I just stumbled across it. Here’s the building it’s in. 

I would never have expected it to be owned by an older woman, Yvonne. She said it wasn’t an easy conversion b/c the building was condemned and the space is huge.

This was the initial picture I posted, b/c it was so fascinating. Yvonne had an architect friend help her w/the conversion and they carefully preserved this window.

The space was so large, that Yvonne decided to divide it into 2 lofts. (Plus, I wouldn’t want to live here alone.)

To decorate it, she scoured flea markets and thrift shops to carefully pick out each piece.

You can tell that the furniture was meticulously chosen. 

This bed looks new, and it’s very unusual and attractive. 

The shower looks like an old Victorian fixture.

This amazing sink definitely looks like it was original to the building. Such a fabulous old loft.

An old factory turned into a home. I would like a small former factory.
