WORK LIFE BALANCE

Form truly meets function in this project. A 4,000 square feet medical warehouse atop a dental practice was transformed into an architecturally stunning home that allows the owners of the practice to entertain colleagues and host professional events while enjoying an unparalleled work-life balance. The loft showcases the building’s original structure including brick, wood post and beam, and new steel beams that facilitated larger clear spans between the kitchen and living space. A metal staircase spirals upwards to a sun room added to the rooftop as a secondary retreat away from the office and residence below. The rooftop addition opens to an Ipe grilling deck with sweeping city views and garden space. Daylight was essential to the design process and light from large exterior windows extends to inner rooms through fixed pane glass and clerestory windows. A large contemporary kitchen adds splashes of contrast to the surrounding industrial materials as light passes though an open back splash and illuminates a rich color palette. Other features include a 550 sf gym, steam shower & soaking tub, dual walk-in closets and bamboo flooring throughout.
