The setting up at 55 East Cordova, a former relic of sand-blasted brick and aged-progress timber, was a 150,000 sf warehouse designed in 1909 by architect Edward Evans Blackmore in downtown Vancouver, B.C. It housed hardware and making supplies for a big-scale importer and distributor and was conveniently located future to the CP Rail terminus station. Pretty much 100 many years later in 2004, the expansive warehouse was transformed into stay-do the job loft areas, with the brick and fir beam development exposed preserving the character of the building intact.
A lover of musical genres from acoustical to electronic, our shopper wanted a place that could extend and contract for web hosting other songs fans. The floorplan worked seriously properly so we centered our initiatives on updating the finishes to replicate his desire for daring color and sample. A several tired areas had been rebuilt and we curated an eclectic combine of new and classic furnishings and treasures. The client’s fascination in tunes and art was the basis on which we included layers of depth and authenticity.
Loving all the exposed industrial bits – just about every loft needs uncovered brick, wood beamed ceiling, pipes and large windows, and hardly any partitions. This one particular is all that and a bag of chips. Built by Falken Reynolds. Photographs: Ema Peter.
