WOW! CONVERTED SPACES

162,75 zł Cena
The idea of converting spaces comes mostly from the need to satisfy spatial and functional requirements of new occupancies. The lack of empty lots and the high cost of land in urban environments could be considered contributing factors that lead to the adaptation and reuse of redundant structures. Consequently, many of these structures now house occupancies for which they were not originally intended. Conversion of spaces should not be considered a negative outcome in urban development for it allows society to preserve its architectural heritage. The result is often an interesting, dynamic co-existence between old and new.

Consequently, old factories, storage areas and warehouses are being transformed to create homes and offices, or commercial studios and shops. The original architecture of these spaces is characterized by the use of materials such as concrete, aluminum, marble and wood, with smooth walls and large doors and windows. The decoration in lofts emphasizes simplicity, adaptability and functionality to create open-plan spaces, with separate rooms being formed using folding screens, medium-height walls or simply pieces of furniture
