Design Love: Artist Lofts and Home Ateliers
Every now and then I get a reader’s request and last week I was asked for homes and loft apartments of artist. Now I thought this was a rather nice idea so I started going through my archive and started looking on the internet and came across some spectacular spaces.
If I think of an artist’s space, I think of large windows, light, open-plan spaces, and double-height ceilings (that’s everyone’s dream, isn’t it?). In this post, you’ll see artist homes, from bohemian loft apartments to minimal Scandinavian ateliers. Enjoy!

Now, this is what I call a proper artist space. Located in Amsterdam, this residence belonged to Gisèle d’Ailly van Waterschoot van der Gracht. Her life is a fascinating story (she lived in the USA, in a family castle in Austria, and in a former monastery on Paros. But most impressively, she sheltered Jews during the war.)
