“In the foreground, one of the building’s original concrete columns stands in contrast to the brass,” Brian shares. “The pairing of rough, weathered concrete and the more refined but still textured metal creates a material tension that feels incredibly satisfying.

A Yoshitomo Nara drawing hangs on the wall, and beneath the window a custom bench provides a comfortable place to pause and remove shoes upon entering. A vintage kilim adds warmth underfoot, while a Cliff Young pendant floats above, helping define the entry within the open loft.”

“The living room is organized around a collection of Italian and Brazilian modernist furnishings selected for their warmth, comfort, and sculptural presence,” Lauren says. “A Cassina sofa, vintage B&B Italia Alanda coffee table, and vintage Brazilian lounge chair create a low, relaxed seating arrangement that feels appropriate to both the scale of the loft and the client’s California-influenced lifestyle.”

“Along the perimeter, custom ebonized oak millwork with a brass reveal detail floats against the exposed brick walls, spanning the full length of the living and dining rooms and becoming part of the architecture of the space. The millwork conceals storage, houses the media system, and reinforces the strong horizontal lines of the space.”

“A luxurious mohair rug softens the seating area, while contemporary side tables by Lucas Recchia and Kieran Kinsella add moments of material richness and craftsmanship. The furnishings draw from both Italian and Brazilian modernist traditions, bringing warmth and refinement to the loft’s industrial shell.”

“The kitchen was designed to recede into the architecture of the loft. Minimal in expression and carefully integrated into the surrounding millwork, it reads almost as a continuation of the space rather than a distinct room.”

“A Boffi kitchen in champagne-colored metal is paired with ebonized oak cabinetry and Black Fusion stone countertops. While the forms are restrained, the material palette is rich and tactile. The soft sheen of the metal, the depth of the oak, and the dramatic movement of the stone create a layered composition that rewards closer inspection.

The exposed concrete columns remain visible throughout, creating a deliberate contrast between the roughness of the original structure and the precision of the new interventions. A series of Basquiat prints brings color and energy to the space, while Gebrüder Thonet stools bring a sense of lightness to the composition.”

“In the background, a concealed pantry provides additional storage and preparation space, allowing the kitchen to remain visually calm and uncluttered.”

“At the center of the loft, the dining area serves as a gathering space for both everyday meals and entertaining. A custom dining table, designed by Frances Mildred, built by Ivory Build, vintage Kai Kristiansen dining chairs, and a sculptural Anna Karlin chandelier create a setting that feels both elegant and relaxed.

Custom steel and glass doors connect the dining room to the adjacent study, while a large ocean diptych by artist Donnie Molls beyond the table serves as a reminder of California and the connection between the two places the client calls home.”

“Designed as a more intimate counterpart to the open living spaces, the media room offers a darker, quieter environment for relaxing and unwinding. Enclosed by a steel and glass partition, it remains visually connected to the loft while maintaining a distinct sense of separation.

A custom credenza in figured walnut with cane doors conceals the audiovisual equipment, bringing warmth and texture to the room. Comfortable and understated, the space provides a retreat from the openness of the apartment.

The credenza was designed by Frances Mildred and built by Ivory Build. The coffee table is by Marco Amato from Bossa Furniture. The custom rug is from Marc Phillips.”

“The primary bedroom was conceived as a calm and restorative retreat. A custom upholstered headboard spans the width of the bed, flanked by floating walnut nightstands and David Weeks sconces. Vintage table lamps and a woven leather bench introduce warmth and texture, while a textile by Pat McGann adds a handcrafted layer to the composition.”

“Soft natural light, warm wood tones, and a palette of greens and neutrals create a relaxed atmosphere. Artwork above the bed references the California landscape, reinforcing the connection to the clients’ life on the West Coast, while a sculptural sconce by Volker Haug provides a subtle focal point between the windows.”

“The primary bathroom is organized around a custom Silver Travertine vanity that spans nearly the full width of the room. Underlit from below, the substantial stone volume appears to float within the space. A large backlit mirror hangs above, reflecting light and enhancing the room’s sense of openness.

White oak-clad walls conceal storage and a private water closet, while a Silver Travertine-clad shower sits between them behind a custom bronze and glass enclosure. The palette is restrained, allowing the richness of the materials and the precision of the detailing to take center stage.”

“Located just off the dining room, the study provides a quieter, more intimate counterpoint to the openness of the loft. Ebonized oak millwork wraps the room, forming both the desk and the wall paneling behind it and creating a sense of continuity with the rest of the apartment.

To further distinguish the space, the walls and ceiling were painted a deep, moody tone. The darker palette creates a feeling of enclosure and focus, helping separate the study from the larger living spaces while maintaining a cohesive material language.

A vintage desk chair acquired by the client during a trip to Brazil introduces a personal element to the room. Together with the warm wood tones and carefully curated objects, it lends the study a sense of character and sophistication.”

“The powder room is conceived as a study in materiality. Ebonized wood panels wrap the walls, while a dark stone floor embedded with fossils adds depth and texture underfoot.

A floating lacquered vanity houses a custom concrete sink, introducing another layer of contrast between refined surfaces and more elemental materials. Behind the sink, the wall subtly shifts in and out to create a shallow ledge and to animate the way light moves across the room. What appears simple at first glance reveals a surprising level of detail upon closer inspection.

Minimal in form but rich in materiality, the powder room reflects the same balance of restraint and craftsmanship that defines the apartment as a whole.”

“In the guest bedroom, a low white oak headboard spans the length of the room, reinforcing the loft’s strong horizontal lines and creating a warm backdrop for the bed.

Soft green walls, deep blue textiles, and natural oak create a calming palette, while an ombré silk rug adds subtle texture underfoot. The exposed concrete column anchors the room to the building’s industrial character. Restrained in palette and detail, the space feels comfortable and restorative.

A Raymond Pettibon leans against the wall. The pendant is a vintage Italian fixture from PRB. The rug is by Temple Studio. The nightstands and bed are custom. The sconces are by Hector Finch.”

“In the guest bathroom, dramatic slabs of Creme Tirreno stone take center stage. Used throughout the floor, vanity, and shower enclosure, the material’s expressive veining becomes the defining feature of the room.”

“The forms are intentionally restrained, allowing the stone to command attention. The result is a space that feels both calm and sculptural.”
