Hipster Haven: a shifting view






I designed this space with the hope that the loft would be the divider for all the other spaces in the apartment. it comes out from the back wall and bends down, making a space for the kitchen. and also separating the office area from the living area. By doing this I cam up with the concept of "shifting" because moving into a new space is a big shift in sombody's life. after coming up with this concept, it helped me think of an idea for my stairs, railing, and almost everything in the apartment.

Lighting includes a window above and to the left of every doorway and 2 skylights underneath the living room space. There will also be track lighting in the kichen and other artificial light sources throughout.
for the building that this complex will be placed, there will be indoor and outdoor porches. (above is an exampe of an indoor porch)
materials include polished concrete flooring, oak railings and walnut cabinetry. also, I will have recycled metal tiles for backsplash in the kitchen and the shower tiles.
