On the dining room table, a terrarium takes center stage. Its oversized carafe-style vase mirrors the modern profile of the Eames dining chairs, and invites onlookers to take a closer look inside. One of two contained gardens found in the loft, the greenery punctuates the environment with a meditative glimpse of the world outside. Photo: Adrienne M DeRosa © 2012 Houzz Design: KEA Design
