Alchemy started the schematic design of this loft renovation by defining a simple pallet of color and materials for the space: golds, warm browns, blacks, deep reds. Then, we added textures that melded rustic with simple and sleek: shiny red kitchen cabinets warmed with exotic wood and composite countertops. Reuse and recycle themes appear in the use of cast off timbers for stairs, hot-rolled steel for doors and the fireplace surround. Industrial materials are partnered with natural and rustic materials to temper the raw open space.
