Old Victorian School Converted Into Modern Loft In Southwest London

Dubbed the “London Loft project”, this apartment was designed by London-based practice JC Decor. It can be found in what used to be an old Victorian School. The entire place was refurbished and the transformation took 8 months. Completed in 2013, the loft now features an interesting mix of modern and classical elements. It has a beautiful architecture, featuring a variety of preserved details which give it character and personality.

 The apartment spreads over three floors and the overall distribution of the spaces is quite nice. The main living space has 200 ft high ceilings and floor made partially of glass.

 The dark wood stain on the floor and some of the furniture gives this space an elegant look. The kitchen is part of an open plan and it has marble countertops and modern appliances. I really like the fact that the kitchen is large and spacious and also connected to the living area.

 The interior architecture of the apartment was really beautiful and most of the original features were preserved. So to allow them to stand out, the interior design was kept modern and minimalistic. The designers chose a combination of vintage and modern pieces for the apartment in order to give it character and to remain faithful to its history and present state. The mix of styles is really beautiful and there’s a very nice balance throughout the décor.-Via

Fresh interiors with wooden floors and Nordic design

Wooden floors are a very beautiful detail in a home. They add a sense of cozyness and warmth regardless of the texture and color. They are also an elegant touch. Nowadays almost every home has wooden floors. The style and interior design is irrelevant because this is a detail that adapts to any environment. However, wooden floors and specific to the Nordic design.

 There’s no other feeling like the one of being able to walk barefooted on warm wooden floors in your own house. Marble or tiled floors are sometimes easier to maintain and clean but they don’t offer the same feeling. They are cold and it’s more difficult to create a warm and inviting décor with such elements. Wooden floors are unique. There are several different designs and looks for them. For example, one of the most appreciated and beautiful is the matte finish usually seen in Nordic decors.

 There, the timber gets no treatment and thus has that natural matte finish, very beautiful and very stylish. The textured wood pieces are perfect for home interiors. All the rooms can benefit from such beautiful elements. We have here some examples that show you different interior, different designs but, most importantly, different but equally beautiful wooden floors with matte finishes. Notice how easy it is to form a warm and inviting decor around them. The colors can vary and so can the material and even the texture. But one thing remains a constant: the beauty and elegance of matte wooden floors.{found on Dinesen}.

Old office turned into an apartment by João Tiago Aguiar

This is the RF apartment. It didn’t always use to be an apartment or anything even close to that. This space used to be an office. It was transformed into an apartment by João Tiago Aguiar. It’s a 210 square meter area and it’s located on the top floor of a building in Avenida Rodrigo de Fonseca.

 Originally, this space was not suited for private living. It had very little and bad lighting and its internal structure was obviously that of an office, not of a private apartment. However, João Tiago Aguiar who worked in collaboration with Renata Vieira, Ana Caracol and Sílvia Amaral managed to turn this space into an inviting home. The old office only has small openings at the top of the walls. This was not the internal structure that architects desired for the apartment they were going to create.

 The entire interior of the office has been demolished. The structural elements were the only ones that were preserved. After that, it all began to take shape. The small cracks were turned into large windows and separate rooms were created. A deck was also created. It surrounds the apartment and it resembles a large balcony. The interior is now more airy and less compartmentalized. The décor is more colorful and inviting. The living areas are separates from the private rooms by a series of bicolor cabinets. The overall look is stylish, simple but definitely friendlier than it used to be.{found on archdaily and pics by FG+SG}.
