Steel is a nonabsorbent material—there’s just no give—it’s interesting to be in a home where steel is so prevalent—exposed trusses covered in corrugated roofing—that, mirrored with the concrete floors, and there’s no cushioning to be had—it feels raw, unforgiving, and simple—basic and elemental with an honesty that says, “I’ve got absolutely nothing to hide.” This space is angles intersecting angles without a curve to be found—there are no tricks—
I like that but I’m not sure I could live in a space like this full time—I like the organic softness of wood floors and the depth of plaster and paint—absorption rather than deflection—I like layers that can either be added to or stripped away alternatively—
Still I’m enjoying the change—this loft feels new and clean which is quite different from the hundred year old apartment I just moved out of—it’s sort of like visiting a foreign country where there are no ghosts—
