An old workshop was converted into a stylish loft, tailored to meet the lifestyle needs of its designer and owner, Celia Gómez Puerta, located in the Salamanca district of Madrid, Spain. When the designer spotted this potential new home with lots of natural light, soaring ceilings, and a large open space, she new it was the home for her, her husband and their pet. The finished result showcases a modern, dynamic and stylish transition brimming with character. She created a space where all parts are visually connected and open onto a courtyard, which floods the home with sunlight. The construction was carried out by Iberhome, which is owned by the designer’s husband. Initially the entrance was through the garage, so one of the first design changes was to convert the weathered garage into a space where her husband can store his motorcycle. Through a sliding door is an open space featuring the living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom. The master bedroom is separated from the main living spaces by a sliding door that can be left open or closed depending on the occasion. A black metal staircase leads to the mezzanine level which is brightly lit by skylights. On this level is a guest room and spacious home office, where the designer runs her interior design studio and blog.

The interiors reflect a contemporary setting with the perfect balance between minimalist and ornate. The main objective was to create the feeling of home. The aesthetics of the loft brings a lot of character, with industrial nuances of exposed brick, metal duct work and beams. Warm wooden flooring infuses warmth into the space and the selection of furnishings, finishes and decor gives the home soul.

We have featured several loft on 1 Kindesign, lots that have been converted and turned into spaces brimming with character and personality. In case you missed them, we have a couple of unique ones here: Old soap factory converted to tranquil Tribeca oasis by Andrew Franz and Building transformed into industrial home in Portland.
