Separate but Equal

3six0 Architecture removed layers of carpet and acoustical ceiling tiles to convert this factory building into a loft with two separate living areas.

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.

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

The wife’s live/work space is more light-filled and airy, marked by soft, rounded corners, translucent panels, frosted glass tiles, and soapstone.
