Durham, NC

Urban Loft Uplift

The Opportunity

Transform a large and cold large industrial 1,500 sq. ft. space into a warmer living area  designed for entertaining and elegant comfort

Design Approach

Add warmth and elegance to the overall living space, creating an entertainment space and large master closet with enhanced space planning

Bring large surfaces of exotic woods and copper to bring warmth to this large white and green space 

  1. Custom design a very functional bar to cook, entertain and better define the space 

  2. Showcase the craftsmanship of local Durham artisans: Bull Durham Fabrications and Steve Peters Design, in Durham, NC and create a butcher block counter from reclaimed wood (from the floor of the old NCSU Basketball court)   

  3. Create a recall of the bar wood with barn style  large sliding doors and optimize an unutilized space for additional closet space 

The Result

An elegant and spacious Loft with Character

A modern and trendy urban living space

  • Optimize the space and increase storage in the living space

  • Create an entertainment area and separate the kitchen from the dining and living spaces

  • Create a better cooking space with a new island workspace area

BEFORE

AFTER

  • Raise the bar and remove the cabinet doors without changing the cabinets to open up the kitchen

  • Remove the bookcase separator and combined them to open up the living room space
