It's hard to believe that this very spacious Edelloft in Sendling was once a warehouse and, until recently, the owner's photo studio. The Munich photographer had the building converted into his family home, which he now lives in with his wife and two children. In close collaboration with Munich interior designer Marcella Breugl and her office Malluvia, the result was something that could perhaps best be described as "wow!". Their brief was simply to make it "simply awesome".

This resulted in rooms that are already spectacular due to their size of 250 m², but also have numerous interesting details to offer, such as a view from the bedroom into the living area or the refurbished retro lights from an old movie theater. The finest and predominantly dark materials, from granite to walnut and oak, support the luxurious and spectacular ambience in the rooms, which open up to the front across the entire width with floor-to-ceiling windows to the former loading ramp and current terrace. The original steel beams of the warehouse built in the 1960s were left in place and painted black, giving the living room with open kitchen a touch of industrial style. As a contrast to this, other old building elements were deliberately included - such as French herringbone in smoked oak for the floors and coffers on the furniture fronts. It was particularly important to the client to reintegrate an existing, diagonally positioned room-in-room cube into the concept. The anthracite-colored kitchen now "grows" out of the cube, with walnut wall units and a backlit kitchen block made of spectacularly grained Black Cosmic granite as special highlights. The dark wooden slats with backlit brass caps retrofitted to the cube look like a work of art and can also be found in the bedroom opposite. The large fixed glazing with a walnut frame and integrated steam fireplace is particularly interesting: it creates a visual relationship through the entire loft and looks like a painting from the living room. For more privacy, the pane can be made opaque at the touch of a button. One of the most challenging tasks was the request for underfloor heating, for which the bedroom and master bathroom were raised by 60 cm with a hollow floor, which made both the great elevated view from the bedroom and the Jacuzzi embedded in the floor in the bathroom possible. The redesign was recently honored with the Best of Interior 2022 Award.
