oh, sugar, sugar!

Loflife magazine shared this super sweet loft that came to them by way of Uxus Design and the company’s (and the loft’s) owners and directors, George Gottl and Oliver Michell. The two decided to keep the original wooden interior of this 18th century Amsterdam sugar warehouse, built in 1763 and located on the Bloemgracht canal and in the trendy Jordaan district of Amsterdam (the one area I was able to explore on my jam-packed 48-hour journey on business to the city a few years back, and it was fabulous for both shopping and site seeing).

Uxus Design has this to say about the loft: “In keeping the original open-plan layout we created a series of dramatic curtain walls that could be opened and closed according to the needs of use. Made of luxurious Italian linen, the curtain walls are opaque when lit from the front yet transparent from behind. At night, the space becomes a series of glowing tents, creating the effect of a surreal interior landscape.” For more on this sugar factory turned loft home and virtual candy for the eyes, visit Loftlife magazine.
