New York Loft | Residential Design

Academic Project, individual

Location: Sydney, Australia

Year: 2021

Software used: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Twilight, Layout

James Flint is a single 35 y.o man who lives with his dog and would like his loft to have a New York vibes.

Living & Dining room should be two distinct zones, but not completely apart.

The Warm Nordic Loft concept is about the feeling of being in a typical New York loft with a touch of Nordic design

The use of neutral yet bold colours plus rough material will give a rustic and sophisticate feature to this project.

As the client is a single man who lives only with his dog, the masculinity will be brought through the dark colours and use of timber on the flooring and leather on furniture.

The use of timber will help to bring coziness to the rooms as the predominant colours are dark.

Having a “Cobogo” wall between the dining and living room will allow to zone the two areas and still having an open plan place connected The “cobogo” wall will also brings natural light through the hollow geometric shaped wall which also matches to the surrounding features.

Artworks and accessories with geometric patterns are also important points to bring coziness to the apartment as everything is clear and simple
