HISTORIC LOFT REMODEL
This historic loft remodel presented a unique opportunity to transform an 1,800-square-foot turn-of-the-century space into a bachelor pad designed for leisure and entertaining. The client wanted a second residence, separate from his main home located a few floors above, that could accommodate guests and provide a variety of recreational experiences.
Shike Design, a Denver interior and restaurant designer, managed the construction process and introduced custom elements to complement the interior design by Leap Interiors and architecture by Blue Line Architecture. The project included relocating restrooms, completing significant electrical upgrades, and adapting the space above an operating restaurant.
The finished loft featured a TruGolf simulated driving range, poker table, theater seating, basketball toss, and pingpong table. A modern custom kitchen with streamlined finishes was enhanced by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling steel wall and a radiused pocket door to the half bath. The result is a sophisticated, modern retreat that preserves the historic character of the loft building while creating an inviting, highly functional space.






“Entering the space I realized that a good friend had lived there a few years prior. Completing gutting the interior to open the space created a dramatic opportunity to achieve the true, authentic loft feel. 13′ ceilings and 1′ x 1′ beams balanced the modern design lines and finishes. Working in a 100 year old building was a healthy challenge.”
