Loft Sixty-four

In the heart of ‘s-Hertogenbosch a former office and workshop was completely renovated and converted into a loft. Because the building is 20 meters deep and really only has light at the front and rear, access of daylight has been an important theme. The explicit wish of the client was to be able to enjoy the property as one large space. Various voids/vides were introduced that allow daylight to penetrate deep into the home.

The voids create exciting sightline between the different living areas. Functional elements such as the bathroom, toilets, storage space and kitchen appliances are all integrated into one large wooden volume that connects the ground floor and the upper level. From the bathtub, you can look straight into the void and watch the birds in the sky. By keeping the side walls free of obstacles, the home has preserved its depth and spaciousness, while still creating intimate spaces.
