位于多伦多的京西社区，SOCA被要求重新设计一个两层的阁楼空间，为一个年轻的专业人员寻求创建两个新的卧室和一个额外的洗手间，从以前的开放平面图，没有隔墙。客户寻求更大的功能和灵活性，以适应他们不断变化的未来需求，同时保持开放式规划的宽敞氛围。设计围绕着一个双层高度的空间展开，西北方向的窗户使阁楼全天都充满了自然光。
Located in Toronto’s King West neighbourhood, SOCA was asked to redesign a two-level loft space for a young professional seeking to create two new bedrooms and an additional washroom from a previously open floor plan with no partition walls. The client sought greater functionality and flexibility to accommodate their evolving future needs while maintaining the spacious atmosphere of the open plan. The design revolves around a double-height space framed by north-west facing windows that fill the loft with natural light throughout the day.
两层楼利用现有的楼梯连接起来，楼梯用黑色的金属踏板和连续的彩色橡木护栏进行了重新装饰，并在主卧室的落地窗处终止。这种简单的材料调色板与通风的白墙和裸露的混凝土天花板并列，创造了一种亲密而又强大的存在。出于预算和环保的考虑，阁楼的许多元素被翻新和再利用。这包括保留壁橱架、轨道照明，以及厨房橱柜、柜台和电器。对厨房进行了简单的更新，包括新的地板和一面涂有黄色的壁龛墙，在原本柔和的配色方案中增添了一抹俏皮的色彩。
The two levels are connected using an existing stair refinished with black metal treads and a continuous stained oak guard that terminates at the floor-to-ceiling window of the master bedroom. This simple material palette juxtaposes the airy white walls and exposed concrete ceilings to create an intimate yet robust presence. Out of budget and environmental considerations, many elements of the loft were refurbished and reused. This included keeping closet shelving, track lighting, along with kitchen cabinets, counters, and appliances. Simple updates were made to the kitchen including new flooring and a yellow-painted niche wall to add a splash of playfulness in an otherwise muted colour scheme.
作为一个小阁楼，重要的是，特色设计元素既能定义空间，又能发挥多种功能。其中一个例子是客厅的长椅，它在提供座位的同时，也是通往入户门和化妆室的隐私屏风。此外，L形的长凳上有架子的切口，以容纳更多的鞋子和书籍的空间。同样，橡木墙板也被创造出来，提供质感的表面和全高的入口镜，同时隐藏了一个难看的电气面板。所有这些都强调了简单的手势在创造小空间时的深刻影响。
Being a small loft, it was important that feature design elements could both define space and serve multiple functions. One example is the living room bench which provides seating while also acting as a privacy screen to the entry door and powder room. In addition, the L-shaped bench has cut-outs for shelves to accommodate further space for shoes and books. Similarly, an oak wall panel was created to offer a textured finish and full height entry mirror while concealing an unsightly electrical panel. All of these emphasizing the profound impact simple gestures have in the creation of small spaces.
