Love This Soho Loft; NYC

Anyone that follows this blog knows I am a huge fan of lofts. It is the soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and just wide open space that really does it for me. I don't operate in the Manhattan real estate market, but definitely love the aesthetics of modern lofts in old pre-war buildings. The right mix of modern and vintage character is just special. I saw this one on NY Curbed, and think it looks amazing. So cool in fact that I had to share it with you guys. There are starting to be a few more of these in Los Angeles, especially as Downtown Los Angeles continues to be redeveloped, but doubt many can touch this Soho loft. Curbed describes it as, "It's a 4,500-square-foot 4BR with 15' ceilings and eight cast iron columns." If you are wondering, this third floor loft at 84 Mercer in Soho, will run you a cool $7,000,000.

Anybody who follows this blog knows I am a fan of Lofts. I love the open floor plan and soaring ceilings, the natural light, and architecture. The best is the juxtaposition of modern finishes with historic character buildings in desirable urban locations. I felt like posting several I found throughout mostly the United States and a few outside of the country. Maybe you can gather some design or architecture ideas for your loft/condo/or even house to incorporate into enhancing your space in 2011. Here's to a great year of Well Being & Architecture. Happy New Year everyone!

I just put this Architectural loft like home on the West side in escrow, and recently leased this designer loft at the famed Broadway Lofts in the heart of Hollywood, and I know of some great ones in varying locations at varying prices for sale or lease all around LA currently available.
