This stunning project from the design team at Istanbul’s Ofist is truly one of a kind. The loft, designed specifically for a bachelor client, has a variety of creative features that are not just beautiful but tailored to the physical experience of the space. We’re delighted to be able to give you a look inside this inspiring home.

Upon a first look into the living room, you are instantly struck by the warm wood ceiling and sweeping wide windows.

Of course, a massive couch to welcome visitors is also a focal point.

The windows fold open to turn the living room into its own balcony, since the apartment’s architecture lacks that feature.

The entry way is tucked out of the way but also spotlights a couple of selections from the owner’s art collection.

The colors pop nicely against the cool concrete walls.

The dining area, which slows easily into the open kitchen, also features a sleek fireplace and plenty of storage for entertaining (e.g., an extensive bar collection).

The minimalist industrial-style staircase is perhaps one of the most captivating features of this modern loft.
