Loft in a Loft

OAM Architecture as Architects

Loft in a Loft project comes from the idea of creating a building that can adapt to a densified urban context, presenting a vertical structure that has as the main objective to seek the light in less conventional spots. In this sense, the velux windows have a key role in the building, providing all areas of the loft with natural light, at every hour of the day. The building is divided into 6 blocks that want to rework the classic structure of a town house, with pitched roofs.


Each block, has a different inclination of the pitches, depending on the room and the amount of light that needs to be obtained. The two ground floor blocks' of the building are the garage and the entrance. From both buildings can access to the kitchen, which is located on the second floor. The upper floors (4-5-6) host the bedrooms and a dressing room shared by two rooms. The top floor has a small garden house.
