By juxtaposing styles and periods in a whimsical yet functional manner, a cold concrete-steel-and-glass high-rise loft unit was converted into an inviting antique filled “concrete cocoon”. Custom carpets were used to graciously divide a large single open area into a set of clearly defined living spaces. The inclusion of a faux fireplace with limestone mantel, multiple antique French chandeliers, and “ball-gown” style draperies across the expansive steel and glass windows all contributed to the softening of the hard edges of the underlying building design.
