Loft Canal

Loft Canal: a brick warehouse converted into lofts

The project

Along the canal, a 1928 brick warehouse now houses six lofts. We kept what gave it character — brick, steel, height — and added what was missing: light and calm.

In figures

1928

A century of brick, preserved

The façades, steel frame and large original windows were kept and restored. The contemporary additions remain legible, in dark steel.

The warehouse and its surroundings

Keeping the soul of the place

Each loft runs through the building from one façade to the other. The added floors stop short of the walls, so the brick stays visible from floor to roof.

Atmosphere

Reflections on the water

Light bounces off the canal and pours in through the tall windows. At night, the warehouse regains its industrial silhouette.
