This Sky Terrace @ Dawson loft, which was conceptualised as a multi-generational home, comes with a connecting studio apartment that can be accessed from its mezzanine floor, so couples can live next to their parents.
Both fans of the Mid-Century Modern style, they dressed their home up in charming vintage furniture and furnishing, and also visually enlarged the space with a $50,000 budget.
Vintage Wooden Furniture
The vintage wooden cabinet is home to figurines, old cameras, and items the wife makes, such as crochet coasters. Flowers by Floral Magic, tableware from Stylo Deco.
Hacked Down Mezzanine Walls
They opened up the space visually by taking down the walls of the mezzanine level and removing the banisters. Working with the high ceiling, the husband chose a Haiku fan with an extended rod, which lowers the fan into the space.
The curved sofa is from Lorgan’s, while the Orla Kiely cushion covers they got from Japan.
Reading Corner
This reading nook is the perfect place for an Isokon Penguin Donkey (made to house Penguin books) and the wife’s collection of crochet animals.
Bathroom
The common bathroom is kept minimal, with a simple faucet by Grohe and a copper-framed mirror that was bought online.
