FLATIRON LOFT

AN OPEN LOFT FOR A GROWING FAMILY

An open loft was redefined to accommodate a family of three, which included a small child. While maintaining the family’s wishes of a clean, minimal environment, the space unifies structure with program allowing for a singular space that is defined by very few dividing walls, that function as closet/storage spaces.

With different ceiling heights between the entry vestibule and living spaces (7' and 11' respectively), programmatic volumes have been used to resolve the disparity and create soft boundaries between spaces.

This suggestion of enclosure allows the home to utilize the usefulness of open plans with the intimacy of private space.

The uninterrupted, unconfined areas allow for a versatile space that can tailor to the needs of a growing family.
