The renovation of this loft apartment in Vienna takes advantage of a generous open-plan layout, high ceilings and the raw character of the original building. We did not want to create another sterile minimalist loft. Instead, the interior is built on the contrast between rough surfaces, dark inserted volumes and clean built-in elements that organize the entire space. The result is a contemporary apartment interior that preserves its industrial atmosphere while functioning naturally for everyday living.
The kitchen is designed as the main architectural volume of the loft. It is neither a separate room nor a discreet kitchen hidden along the wall. One bold block organizes cooking, dining and circulation throughout the apartment while replacing traditional room divisions. The combination of white surfaces, dark details and raw walls keeps the interior simple but visually strong.
The living area embraces the original rawness of the space instead of covering it up. Rough textures, exposed structural elements and the open layout form the foundation of the entire interior. We were not trying to create a stylized industrial loft full of decorative effects. The apartment remains clean and open, relying mainly on proportions, light and materials.
Compared to the main living area, the bedroom is calmer and reduced to only the essential elements. Bright walls, dark wooden floors and simple furnishings allow the space and natural light to become the focus. Despite its minimalist approach, the room does not feel cold. Instead, it works as a quiet retreat hidden inside the open loft.
The workspace is not separated as a conventional room. It is integrated into a dark built-in volume that hides multiple functions within the apartment. This keeps the loft visually open while still defining clear zones for work and privacy. The inserted structure acts more like architecture within the apartment than ordinary partition walls, allowing individual functions to remain separated without losing the openness of the loft.
