This loft renovation maximizes light and space with a suspended steel staircase as the focal point of the great room. Also on the main level are double-height windows, a fireplace, two-story floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and light gray stained plank floors. A large separate dining room flows into the open, contemporary custom kitchen with an arched ceiling over the dining area. The upper level includes a laundry room in addition to the master suite.
