Toronto, Ontario
First we feature a 2200 square foot loft
designed with modern Italian furnishings
and a wrap around deck overlooking a quaint
park. Then we check out the Creed Building,
a former fur vault, built in the 1920's
and now 19 original loft residences. We
look at two lofts here. One is a 2,100 square
foot space with a dramatic entrance, an
angled fireplace and a very bold colour
palette. The other is located on the ground
level. The curved windows at the front of
this historic building create an inviting
feel leading into the space - perfect for
the owner’s knitwear design business. |

Our first loft combines historic windows
from England, an old barbershop pole and
a soap stone kitchen sink with modern furnishings
to create an outstanding loft space. Our
second loft is truly a creation of it’s
owner, a woodworker by trade. He runs a
custom furniture shop from the back of his
space. With these skills he has taken a
hands on approach to loft living and designed
and created everything in his space. Our
third loft is home to two artists who have
created a dramatic live/work space that

for design.

the hydraulic lifts from a former garage
to make the perfect live/work studio to
create jam art.
