The concrete floors give a nice history and sheen, although I&#8217;m starting to wonder about the heating bills in a place this size&#8230;with those windows&#8230;though I guess if you can afford to have a place like this, heating bills aren&#8217;t such a worry.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Two adjacent floors of a former factory were joined by removing a quadrant of the floor area between them, creating a double-height space that links all parts of the loft. A large, new opening in the exterior wall replaced two rows of existing windows. Industrial steel sashes were used to break down the scale of the opening and to reference neighboring natural-light factories. Public areas on the lower level utilize a concrete floor\u00e2\u20ac\u201da nod to the building&#8217;s past\u00e2\u20ac\u201d while wide-board oak was used for the stairs and upstairs bedrooms.
