It's a building here that used to be held within a family. In the 1800s it was used for the production of equipment that was agriculture related. In 1995, it was abandoned and then one family took it on and decided with the need for more dwellings.
The concept was to maintain the brick and mortar as well as the high ceilings and by the end of this summer it shall be completed. The renovation to into regards creating something that was conceptually commercial, while still maintaining the symbolic history.
Come August of 2010 this shall be completed as already it's gone beyond what is known as the critical schedule of development.
Yet it shall be done. The schedule in the last two months has been a 24/7 in order to meet the mandates as well as the investment.
.very nice --it-looks very clean ..:)
ReplyDeleteam pretty sure this lights up at night ... lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLike the subjective flow of this pic. The kind we could hang in, out in the sala.
ReplyDelete... is this you Jack in a silhouette ... :)
so this is how they lay down the fittings ... these must be hardwork
ReplyDeletescrew or bars ...
ReplyDeletehope the fittings works well, if not ...
ReplyDeletethis must be for the bricks
ReplyDelete... always there's something beautiful that comes out of bricks or stone works. The rustic yet elegant ... romantic finishing i just love :)
ReplyDeleteAfter a hard days work ... just looking outside the window and feel the wind, heaven ... :)
ReplyDeletehard work ... yet it gives something in return. A cycle of life
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful..window
ReplyDeletevery nice , these pictures kind of go with the music el Divo is singing"Hallilujah"
ReplyDeletehe s working hard :).looks like insulating.foam?
ReplyDeleteImagine a magnificent piano à queue in that room. Those pillars and large windows, a superb loft it would be. Nice pictures again Jack. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteWas a conceptual I took. I would have prefered to have something symbolic within the middle yet it's rather nice and is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteYeah he is Caroline, insulation is set down first thereafter there will be wood floors combined with some marble placed in.
ReplyDeleteThis is not me Tess.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to just do something creative with this one, it's the same gent that was doing the insulation in the flooring.
It's much harder to take an old building and restore it than to build one from scratch.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why it is one of your favorites. It is beautiful
ReplyDeleteThese are screws that are drilled in from the other side of the concrete wall.
ReplyDeleteLets see what this looks like when it's finished :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see it being renovated ..a work in progress
ReplyDeleteLove stone, the color of the brick and the cups of coffee gave some value it was rather neat.
ReplyDeleteVery much so Cheryl. I just got on here and lets see if I can do this.
ReplyDeletehttp://initiativestain.multiply.com/photos/album/175/Merely_A_Moment#photo=1 < this is the building.
Fascinating, Jack! The building looks huge! Are they planning on making it into condominiums, as a return on what must be a significant investment? Would love to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the magnificent tour, Jack! :).
Yeah this will be made into condos, the concept I kid you not was to incorporate a New York feel along with a European flair.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a great shot Jack....Love it , and Have a great weekend also.... :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks and you as well Jules...
ReplyDeleteLooking outside the window i love doing, gives me a refreshing attitude each time.
ReplyDeleteThe red and purple outside is such an eyecatcher to the milkywhite paint of the room ... lovely. tight hugs :)
high ceiling, the pillars, am sure the finishing will be as great as the photo. It must have been a hard work, over there Jack, and the privatesecurity, i am sure is busy walking to and from, down and up ... very busy laughs*
