Many homeowners find exposed ductwork, brick walls, unfinished wood and bare windows simply irresistible. They consider the raw materials and finishes that define industrial style and give a home a certain kind of rough edginess something to proudly display. If you have a converted loft or warehouse home with these details, we want to see it!

Brooklyn, New York. Designer and artist Alina Preciado’s industrial-style loft is in an 1890s building that was once a woodshop. She says, “It had huge machines which made divots and scratches along the floors, so it’s great to be able to see the history.”

Salt Lake City, Utah. This former auto garage was an ideal first home for motorcycle enthusiast Spencer Steed and his wife, Alex Tovey. In keeping with the existing raw style of the space, the couple added mechanic-shop-inspired decor and rustic salvaged pieces. Here in their bedroom, corrugated fiberglass panels attached to plywood on steel framing and sliding weathered steel closet doors have gritty appeal.

Toronto. Robert Van Every immediately started visualizing himself living in this 1902 loft when he first saw it. The concrete floors, wooden ceilings and brick walls of the onetime Rawlings baseball glove factory drew him in.

Brooklyn. Artist Ed Roth first saw his loft, in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, when it was still unfinished. Even though there were pigeons flying around the original beams in the former bakery, he saw the beauty of the space. He says, “I just loved it.”

We actually bought an entire 8,000 sq. ft. Warehouse, that was originally a bottling company back in 1917.
Two floors, and a rooftop deck. So, 4,000 sq. ft. per floor.
Mancave, with two guest rooms on a mezzanine, on the first floor. Main living (master bedroom, living, dining, kitchen) on the second floor.
It has been an absolute dream for both of us!

@Shon Hall WOW! What a beautiful loft! Did you remodel the space? Or did you purchase the building this way? ~ Mandi @ Dura
We did it all… it was just a shell when we bought the building.
