A wood grille on the ceiling in the kitchen<br />
conceals the building’s mechanicals. “The depth<br />
and shape of the blades help to define the kitchen<br />
area, creating a visual dialogue with the existing<br />
kitchen’s peninsula,” Rocha says. The inset door in<br />
the column leads to a slide-out pantry.<br />
and modern, clean lines. Their goal was to use the loft’s minimalistic<br />
raw space as a backdrop for a colorful intervention, taking advantage of<br />
the soaring height and abundant light.” Marchetto adds, “We wanted to<br />
make an interior design overlay to work with the modern architecture.”<br />
One of the most striking aspects of the architecture is its height, which<br />
is accentuated by tall, rectangular windows and a fireplace that reaches<br />
22 feet to the ceiling. “The flue naturally emerges as the most prominent<br />
visual feature within the space,” Rocha says. “Dean, recognizing its<br />
significance, designed it in a manner that would appropriately honor its<br />
role within the overall aesthetic of the space.”<br />
Marchetto highlighted the fireplace by creating a sloped profile for the<br />
base, cladding it in simulated stone and adding a copper mantel and<br />
face. “Those additions give the fireplace a well-proportioned base and<br />
introduce materials that add interest to the structure,” he says. The flue is<br />
embellished further with custom tapestry that’s tall and narrow to mimic<br />
the space around it.<br />
