Pale Blue Walls and Huge Windows in a Swedish Loft Apartment

This bright corner loft apartment is located in a former university building in Stockholm. Three former university buildings dating from the 1860s, 1890s, and 1950s were converted into contemporary homes after a design by architect Andreas Martin-Löf.

This 90 square meter loft apartment is located in a high position of the building from the 1890s. The interior spaces are defined by high ceilings and huge windows in two directions, flooding the rooms with natural light.

The living room’s 4.1-meter ceiling height, huge windows in two directions, and unobstructed views, thanks to its high location, give it a wonderful sense of space.

loft kitchen double upper cabinets

All apartments in this residential building have a custom Kvänum kitchen inspired by the former laboratory interior and fume cupboards. The ceiling height has been taken advantage of by adding a double row of upper cabinets.
