Bronson Van Wyck's New York City Loft

I love how celebrity event planner Bronson Van Wyck has outfitted his loft in Manhattan. The mix of eclectic, antique, fun, and a splash of modern (check out that dining room light fixture...*gasp*) really works. Lots of intriguing colors, textures, shapes. I love spaces that feel fascinating, that make you want to really study each object, find out where each treasure came from...

BEAUTY: Interior Design--Crosby Street Loft by David Howell and Melissa Pinto

Architect David Howell and interior designer Melissa Pinto are resopnsible for this marvelous loft in New York City. What strikes me right about this loft is how the pair managed to avoid the usual loft clichés by eschewing the "recycled industrial" look, which, don't get me wrong, can be nice. But Howell and Pinto played more with a sense of turn-of-the-century New York City Beaux Arts seen through a modern lens: I love how the dark wood paneling, fluted columns, and furnishings give the loft a feeling of luxury that most modern lofts do not have. And of course I love the Heath Ceramic tiles (previously here) in the main bathroom.

From the website description of the project:
"The Crosby street loft building is located on a cobblestone block in the Soho Cast Iron Historic District. Built in 1882, it was formerly a department store, and converted in 2001 to a 10-unit loft condominium. Our renovation of a second floor loft retains and celebrates many of the original details, including generous, open spaces, 14 foot plus ceiling heights, Corinthian-style columns, and a continuous 120 foot exposed brick wall with integrated archways. The design was a collaborative process, integrating elements discovered on the client’s world travels. Design features include a 12 foot tall glass lounge, two fireplaces, Control4 smart home system, a stone, cold-rolled steel and custom walnut cabinet kitchen and living room, and a luxurious master suite reminiscent of a 5-star hotel."

BEAUTY: Interiors--Heather Garrett's Loft

Interior designer Heather Garrett used her talents to create a marvelous loft for herself. At once comforting and eclectic, the space is intriguing with a superb mix of textures, objects, and finishes...

Coincidentally, I just sourced the exact same sconces on her stairs for a clients' dining room!

BEAUTY: Interiors--Luiz Fernando Grabowsky

Lofts can be quite a challenge, even to a seasoned interior designer. They might have soaring ceilings, but the actual footprint or living space can be quite cramped. Here is a great example of a fun, interesting, well appointed loft by Brazilian architect and designer Luiz Fernando Grabowsky. The space is used well, and while there are clearly defined areas, the open feeling of loft living remains.
