Open, warm and welcoming-is this full loaded kitchen. The hand finished walnut bar is a favorite gathering place. Not shown is an attached 'morning room' that is well used for the day's first cup of joe!

Built as a schoolhouse in the 1920s, this historic building in San Francisco's Noe Valley district was converted to condos in the late 90s. The original space had light maple floors which washed out the entire room. Adding new mahogany floors contrast well with the exposed brick walls, steel I-beams, new tailored and elegant furniture and a great modern art collection. Photography by Emily Payne

Photography by Adam Letch - www.adamletch.com This client wanted to convert their loft space into a master bedroom suite. The floor originally was three small bedrooms and a bathroom. We removed all internal walls and I redesigned the space to include a living area, bedroom and open plan bathroom. I designed glass cubicles for the shower and WC as statement pieces and to make the most of the space under the eaves. I also positioned the bed in the middle of the room which allowed for full height fitted joinery to be built behind the headboard and easily accessed. Beams and brickwork were exposed. LED strip lighting and statement pendant lighting introduced. The tiles in the shower enclosure and behind the bathtub were sourced from Domus in Islington and were chosen to compliment the copper fittings.

Warm concrete floors, reclaimed wood flooring in the bathroom and office area and the 3Form divider/door create a calm and interesting space in this master loft. We left portions of the concrete formed walls and ceiling natural as well as some of the exposed brick. Behind the divider is the office and a stackable washer and dryer set into a custom closet with an antique door. Mountain Home Photography, Michael Brands

This upgrade allows you to use a thin cut brick along the stair well wall. The texture of the real brick and colors are unique.
