The Arts District Loft is an alteration of an industrial 2,000-square-foot condominium loft in the Toy Factory Lofts, a 1924 warehouse located in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles.
The layout was restructured by removing unnecessary walls to create four spaces defined by custom casework in the new open layout. The living room was raised onto a platform and covered with grey oak herringbone flooring, while the rest of the loft kept the original raw concrete floors. We removed existing partitions to combine two bedrooms into one primary suite. A custom bookcase with three bays that rotate 90 degrees separates the primary suite from the living room. When left open, the bookcase lets in natural light from the living room windows, while the resulting ledge doubles as flexible seating for the master suite sitting area.
