It helps when your father is a famous architect.

Date April 27, 2006

An architect designed and renovated his son’s New York loft apartment, maximizing the space in some ingenious ways. They managed to get two floors and a guest bedroom into a loft under 700 square feet with 12 foot ceilings! The pictures that flash by in the slideshow on this page are okay, but the Dwell magazine article (pdf) is terrific. I just spent 15 minutes I can’t really afford reading it and marvelling at the pictures.

It’s almost enough to make one want to borrow a ton of money and invest it in an awesome fancy modernist loft. But not quite.
