When this two-apartment unit was purchased by Lucas Goldbach, En Masse Design Director and Partner, the space looked pretty run down. It was dark, with an outdated kitchen, and the loft could barely be called usable. It’s safe to say it needed a lot of work before it could become a properly functional modern home. Something to be seen as an exciting challenge, not a deterrent for the design director who completely transformed the space for himself and his partner into a charmingly cozy and joyful residence complete with plenty of color and light.
Lucas wanted to infuse simplicity and modesty into the renovation, respecting the original proportions of the space while making it more welcoming in feel with an open kitchen, large sliding doors to the backyard, as well as wide plank white oak floors, and white walls that make the found vintage pieces and art pop. Let’s have a look at how this full refurb took a space from ‘super dated’ to ‘home to covet’.
