eclectic loveliness

decorate & dwell

Oct 1

I found a gorgeous gorgeous loft to share with everything this lovely Tuesday afternoon. I'm pretty excited about it- cause as I was surfing the net and stumbling across this lovely dwelling place my handsome hubby was sitting next to me and took notice of the space too. I don't know about you but I find that to be quite the compliment. He even commented that this is what he wants our home to look like with the all the textures and cool eclectic pieces (maybe minus one or two decor pieces). Quite the response from my down to earth hubby.The loft was remodeled by Vancouver-based studio Omer Arbel. This lovely find is a heritage building in Gastown, a national historic site in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I thought I would pull a quote from the studios own words about this loft.

The project consisted of a seismic upgrade and restoration of a heritage building in Vancouver's historic gastown district, and a loft interior design project. The loft is organized around a new courtyard open to above, inserted into the heritage fabric of the building, allowing light into the centre of the very deep plan. All other interior elements are rendered crisply using precisely machined elements, conceived to stand in strong contrast to the rough heritage fabric of the existing shell.-Omer Arbel // Project 5.2 // Loft
