Throughout the history of our blog, we have seen many different loft spaces, but this is perhaps one of the most unusual and interesting. Situated in a former church building in Amsterdam, this private residence is an incredible blend of complex multi-level architecture and stylish contemporary design. Sloping ceilings, metal partitions, glass rooms and a…
Netherlands are champions in converting interesting non-residential buildings into housing, at least a significant part of such projects that we have been sharing lately here on the blog are from here. Dutch designers especially love old schools and churches. Today we want to talk about the last type of homes – this loft was created…
Inside this magnificent old house in the English county of Wiltshire, it is simply impossible not to think about its past – high ceilings and characteristic second-light windows remind you of the special history of this building. This is a real ancient chapel, the construction of which dates back to 1862. Of course, the exterior…
What we love about lofts is their uniqueness – each object is not like the others, and sometimes there are completely unique objects.

Today we have an old chapel in Sweden, which, after a recent renovation, has got a very interesting and unusual residential look. The main huge space of the living-kitchen-dining room is especially impressive:…
This amazing house located in suburbs of Stockholm is really one of a kind, and primarily because it appeared on the site of an old chapel, and the churches, as we know, are never like each other. And the first thing that catches your eye when you get inside is the magnificent living room space…
Who would have thought that behind the magnificent facade of an old Gothic church in one of the Dutch villages, a family housing could be hidden!
