While I actually like loft conversions (and a touch of the industrial-museum look), this place vibes of varnish slapped over serious, ongoing issues – which means someone spent a boatload of money to produce a hazardous space or the intentional suggestion of one.

Neither strikes me as a positive environment.

I reckon the metal pail is merely an ironic accessory to the janitor’s sink – also known as a bucket sink – in the no doubt janitor’s-closet-themed bathroom. They can keep that, and their shiny galvanized pail, too. :)

It has a nice sense of space, but the industrial decor isn’t my cup of tea. Recycling lockers is kinda cool, but just looking at those bar stools makes my back ache. I also question the choice to put the TV at floor level. Neck-Aches-R-Us… Also, I think I would have chosen a warmer color palette to offset the cold effect from all that concrete, especially in often cloudy Seattle.

I do wish they’d shown the upper floor (I assume the bedroom); a view of how its structure fits inside the basic volume of the loft and a view down to the living area, too.

On the upside, the under-the-floor pull out storage is awesome! Great use of space. They’d have more if they switched to a wall mounted flat screen. I wonder if the floor panels farther back from the drawers open from the top to make full use of the volume below?

BTW… X-Rays as decorative wall hangings? WTH?
