The Looiershof building was originally a leather tanning factory, renovated and converted into raw units for residential use. The design of this loft apartment avoids the use of corridors, setting the various spaces in direct adjacency to each other. Large sliding walls can be opened or closed as desired, allowing for the opportunity to enjoy an open plan living space, while still accommodating the need for privacy. Large expanses of glass fill the home with light, playing well against the minimal palette of materials - lacquered white panels, espresso painted drywall, walnut and belgian bluestone. The project was accomplished on a minimal budget with simple details, such that much of the design could be built by the owners themselves.
