AMAZING LOFT IN EINDHOVEN
If i could choose a place to live, I would definitely consider this loft in Eindhoven. An industrial style loft photographed by Paulina Arcklin, with crumbled concrete walls and big black iron windows, raw ceiling and wide spaces. The iron frame windows let’s plenty of light through, so the loft is lit up with nature light. The interior stylist Renee Arns, the owner of Out of the Blue concept store, used only a few colors (black, grey, brown & white) and materials (concrete, leather, iron, wood) to get this result, want turned out to be fantastic.

Assignment space styling: Hotel room
At school we have to design a hotel room for the old Volkskrant building, the target group are creatives and in the hotel room they have to experience something new and innovative. I immidiatly thought of a (old loft) elevator room. The door is elevator doors and you have two levels. The first has a livingroom and the second a bathroom. The elevator is the bedroom and goes to level 1 and 2.
Target group: creatives, trend-sensitive and are love doing unusual things.
