Reimagining a Highgate loft through the power of joinery
An interior precedent for residential loft circulation that uses custom joinery, bold pink planter boxes, and a contrasting spiral stair to animate neutral white surfaces.
- What we like about this project
- The planter boxes cantilever boldly off the mezzanine edge, matching the railing color to form a unified architectural band.
