3six0 Architecture removed layers of carpet and acoustical ceiling tiles to convert this factory building into a loft with two separate living areas.
Separate but Equal
The husband’s space is highlighted by angular details that include wood, MDF, and steel.
Separate but Equal
The design team retained whatever valuable materials it could, restoring the wood floors and cleaning the 11-foot-tall load-bearing brick walls.
Separate but Equal
The husband’s bathroom continues the angular lines as the space features a honed granite vanity and tub surround, dark gray slate floors, and frosted glass wall tiles.
Separate but Equal
On the wife’s side of the loft, casework continues with glass doors and a more monolithic expression.
Separate but Equal
The wife’s live/work space is more light-filled and airy, marked by soft, rounded corners, translucent panels, frosted glass tiles, and soapstone.
Separate but Equal
The kitchen area in the wife's loft space.
Separate but Equal
The wife's bathroom is much lighter with more delicate finishes compared with the husband's.
Separate but Equal
The loft space made uninterrupted straight lines nearly impossible; the firm found a workaround with custom built-in millwork and storage units.
