Brick Apartment: Industrial Housing Transformed Into Organic Sanctuary
This 1,800 sq. ft (167 sq.m) two-story loft apartment is nestled within the walls of a former factory now thoughtfully reimagined as a refined residential space rooted in organic modern design. The project, located in Los Angeles, United States, was designed by Mopsarchitects in 2023, embodying eco-friendly architecture that combines practicality with beauty, highlighted by materials like oak wood, brushed travertine, and natural limestone.
Ground Floor: Open Spaces and Inviting Elegance
Upon entry, the warm minimalism embraces you with its sharp lines and organic materials. The living space flows without interruption into the kitchen, highlighted by a combination of oak wood, brushed travertine, and natural limestone. Exposed, chipped bricks provide a historical reference, while tailor-made furnishings introduce a modern touch.
The kitchen distinguishes itself with its refined aesthetics. Sleek cabinets complement an expansive island — ideal for cooking and informal socializing. Above, pendant lights delicately illuminate the area without being overpowering. Sliding screens and architecturally pivoting dividers delineate specific spaces while amplifying the sense of spaciousness.
Upper Level: Tranquil Retreats for Rest and Reflection
Climb the elegant staircase, where each step feels like a soft nudge upward. The upper level contains private quarters crafted for comfort and peace. Bedrooms strike a balance between functionality and visual appeal, embellished with considerate details.
Instant tranquility envelops you in the master bedroom, boasting a calming color scheme and minimalist sophistication. The ambiance suggests luxury without extravagance. An attached bathroom beckons relaxation, featuring up-to-date fixtures and ample natural illumination.
Overall, Brick embodies the Mopsarchitects philosophy: a dedication to eco-friendly architecture that combines practicality with beauty. This home is not simply a space; it’s a profoundly personal reflection of modern existence.
