LOFT H, bare necessities, BE

This pied-à-terre in Brussels required the lightest of touches to meet the client’s brief. The young, dynamic head of marketing at a Belgian fashion house knew exactly what he wanted from this historic building in Brussels. The desire was for a loft-style, impermanent space. The abandoned building needed only minimal, isolated changes to be fit for the client’s freedom-seeking purpose. Rough and empty, sparse and austere, the possibilities were (and are) endless. Furniture was both the first, and the finishing touch.
