The Willow Loft maintains its industrial character through exposed beams and steel elements while introducing warmth through custom millwork and soft materials. High ceilings and skylights brighten spaces that were once dark.
Industrial heritage reborn with modern refinement.
The renovation focused on preserving the warehouse's raw qualities while crafting a home that supports modern routines. Each intervention was carefully considered to complement the existing structure rather than conceal it.
Custom cabinetry, layered lighting, and bespoke furniture help soften industrial edges. These elements introduce warmth and personality, creating a balanced contrast between old and new.
“It feels like living inside a perfectly balanced blend of old and new. Truly transformative.”
Carter & Wells
Materials like oak, stone, and brushed steel come together to create a tactile, layered interior. Lighting zones subtly define areas without rigid partitions, maintaining spatial flexibility.
The open plan supports gatherings, creativity, and quiet downtime. Every design choice enhances livability while celebrating the building’s heritage.
