Edgmar Lofts


Completed August 2002

This project is located on the backside of the Edgemar retail complex along Main Street in Santa Monica. A series of large industrial steel windows was inserted along with ample skylights to give balanced daylighting to the interior.

The former dairy building made of brick and wood bowstring trusses was stripped down to its structure with the intent of maximizing its spatial volume and carefully inserting the core of living amenities. Each of the two 1200 s.f. lofts has a ground floor live/work and kitchen space. The upstairs mezzanine provides a flexible sleeping/office space that overlooks the ground floor. At one end, a glass tiled “wet” wall features a sink and shower head.
