Client: Mr. Harper, 36 year old professional chef, and Mrs. Harper, 34 year old professional dancer
Requirements: Create a live/work space for the couple. The Harpers purchased two dwelling units in a manufacturing building that has been converted into loft spaces. The combined space will function as the permanent residence for the couple, as well as house Mrs. Harper's small dance school for children. The apartment should feel open and spacious, with natural light in all private and social areas. A mezzanine will duplicate the use of some of the floor space, as well as create some privacy. Specific areas that the couple require include: wine storage, pantry, a fully equipped open kitchen, a dining area with seating for 12, laundry, home office, guest room, master suite with walk-in closet, and a wet bar in the living area.
