Hass loft. The transformation of a structurally unsupported loft into a home with its own identity

From the outside, this loft had everything: double-height ceilings, natural light and a sense of spaciousness that promised great possibilities. However, once inside, the space lacked structure. The ground floor was fragmented by a poorly resolved bathroom, while the upper level was an empty space without a defined purpose. The challenge was to transform this unstructured volume into a coherent, functional and characterful home.

The concept behind the project emerged from organising the space through a clear functional sequence and a visual thread that would unify the whole. Each intervention responds to a specific need, while also contributing to a sense of continuity throughout the space.

On the ground floor, the existing bathroom was removed to reorganise the entrance and create two more efficient elements: a guest bathroom and an entrance wardrobe. To articulate this new configuration, a glass-block wall was introduced, filtering natural light and defining the space without closing it off. The blue-stained wooden doors add character and act as a unifying element throughout the interior.

Relocating the staircase freed up valuable floor space and made it possible to integrate a small home office underneath. The kitchen, originally open-plan, was redesigned to fully integrate into the new layout. A custom-designed island becomes the heart of the space, organising everyday life around it.

Upstairs, the empty space was transformed into two independent bedrooms connected by a shared washbasin area, maintaining a relationship between the spaces while preserving privacy. From there, access is provided to a dressing room and a shared bathroom, creating a fluid and functional sequence.

The result is a loft that has evolved from an undefined space into a balanced composition, where every decision reinforces both functionality and identity.
