ENSO HOUSE is a project designed by S+PS Architects. “A lot was happening in 2020 when we were appointed to design a penthouse on the 50th and 51st floor, with a terrace and pool on the 52nd floor. There was a need to feel a sense of freedom in an otherwise restrictive situation that the world had come to during COVID-19. One wanted to sense the free air and the ground simultaneously. Having a private pool with a terrace with the open sky above was a boon, but one missed the tree tops, but luckily the borrowed landscape of the Aarey Colony helped soothe the eyes. The clients came with memories from their long stay of 15 years in Chicago but there was also the palpable excitement of getting their bespoke home “custom” designed for the first time. How does one begin to pull together all these disparate thoughts and feelings into crafting a new home?” Photography by PHXINDIA.

Castelli Loft by Grizzo Studio
In 2021 Grizzo Studio renovated this 90m2 loft in the former Hering factory in Martínez. The premise was to use noble materials that do not go out of style and at the same time will provide warmth. The loft is developed on two levels. To continue with the factory aesthetics of the building, black-painted sheet metal was used on the railings and bridge, and the carpentry was changed to black. To give it warmth, wood paneling and travertine floors were added. photography by Federico Kulekdjian.

Downtown Loft by Bushman Dreyfus Architects
Downtown Loft is a project designed by Bushman Dreyfus Architects. Light is the theme of this minimal and modern intervention. The oldest building on the downtown pedestrian mall in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, contains this minimal and modern renovation. The c.1843 three-story structure was badly in need of refurbishment — portions of the framing, roof, insulation, windows, mechanical systems, electrical and plumbing were all replaced and renewed so this building is set for service for another century or more.

Greene Street Loft by Kimberly Peck Architect
Greene Street Loft is a project designed by Kimberly Peck Architect. This client hired us to do a complete facelift of a quintessential Soho loft. The apartment had great bones but presented as very dated. The new design of the space emphasized the features that make an archetypal loft. Mainly, the space was opened and the central timber beam and cast iron columns were exposed, all paint was removed and the materiality emphasized. Photography by ddreps.
