As a real estate type, LOFT originated in the West and is often used to describe "

a tall open space transformed from an old factory or an old warehouse with few interior walls."

However, as a kind of performance art originated from poor and down-to-earth artists turning waste into treasure,

LOFT has developed into a fashionable style decoration,

deliberately showing off the cast-in-place concrete beam-column structure,

or aestheticizing various industrial residues Transformation,

machines, cement, and pipes, no longer mean tension and depression, no longer monotony

and indifference, but the individuality and coolness that are striving to break through the iron shoes.

This is a Taiwanese Hsinchu homeowner who loves Manhattan, New York,

and hopes to bring the memory of travel back to his home, so he used an interior area of

69 square meters to create an unpackaged, purely industrial Manhattan single apartment.

It is 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 2 bathrooms.

The first entrance is a porch designed by sliding gates,

creating the atmosphere of an old elevator.

When used in modern buildings, it immediately adds a lot of

old style to the house, and can be used to store coats, coats, shoes, etc.

On the other side of the wall, there is a scaffolding

that is usually only seen on the construction site,

which can display books, exhibits and luggage, etc.,

becoming a practical product with a strong indoor industrial flavor.

Next to the entrance is the biggest architectural feature of the house -

the kitchen transformed from a container is a rectangular blue shipping container.

The corrugated board and the door of the box keep the original appearance.

A small window on the box communicates with each other.

In the living room and kitchen space, a plank frame creates

a simple one-person bar at the bottom of the small window.

The essence of LOFT is the original industrial style,

so you will find that in the middle of the house,

the owner replaced some of the interior walls with exposed red brick walls,

and then sprayed white cement paint to create an inadvertent sense of historical dilapidation.

The red brick design extends from the sofa

in the living room to the glass door of the balcony.

There are also some murals, linen, street lamps and electrical pipes hanging in the middle.

The whole wall is full of industrial colors.

Even the comfort-oriented master bedroom still retains metal elements,

and behind a white curtain is a wardrobe tied with iron chains.

The wall behind the head of the bed is pasted with strip-colored wallpaper,

and piled up with various levels of wood planks to create a retro atmosphere.

The style of the guest room echoes that of the living room,

with hanging retro lampshades, black and white oil paintings, and grey brick walls,

which are more suitable for sleeping environments, in softer tones.

A large open closet sits against the wall, giving the home more storage space.
