Introduction

Welcome back to another episode of House Flipper! Today, We Are thrilled to be taking on the challenge of transforming a warehouse loft into a stylish apartment. This loft, recently converted from a warehouse to a private art gallery, presents us with a unique project that showcases the potential of the space. Though the size might not be impressive, the possibilities are endless. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey of creativity and renovation.

Purchasing the Property

As always, the first step in our house flipping adventure is purchasing the property. After careful consideration, we have chosen a 203 square meter loft apartment with two floors and seven rooms. The price tag of 111,000 buccaroonies is within our budget, and the description of the property has us intrigued. We can't wait to get our hands on this charming loft and bring out its full potential. Let's make our way there and see what this place has in store for us!

Initial Assessment and Clean-up

Upon arriving at the loft, we are immediately faced with the task of cleaning up the space. Just like every other property we've encountered, this one is filled with trash and debris. It's a mystery why every house or apartment seems to be filled with trash, but we are prepared to tackle the mess. We start by clearing out the entryway and make our way through the rooms, removing trash and sprucing up the joint. We come across a bathroom in need of some repairs, including a shattered mirror. No problem, we can address that later.

Transforming the Space

Demolition and Renovation: Before we can truly transform this loft, we need to get rid of some unnecessary elements. We decide to demolish a wall and create a more open space. The existing walls were likely built for the art gallery, but we envision a more open and contemporary feel. With the help of our trusty flamethrower, we remove unwanted installations and graffiti, clearing the way for a fresh start.

Adding New Walls and Windows: To redefine the space, we erect new walls that better suit our vision for the apartment. We enclose a small room around the elevator entrance, creating a more formal entryway. Additionally, we replace old, rotting windows with sleek, black ones that not only enhance the aesthetic but also let in more light. However, our journey with windows hits a few bumps along the way, requiring us to experiment with different types and sizes, but in the end, we manage to find the perfect fit.

Choosing a Color Scheme: To give the loft a cohesive and modern look, we decide to go with a blue and gray color scheme. While we have experimented with color schemes in individual rooms before, this is the first time we are implementing it throughout an entire apartment. We believe the cool tones of blue and gray will create a calming and contemporary atmosphere.

Designing the Entryway: With the new walls in place, we design an entryway that complements the loft's overall style. We install a sleek black wood door, matching it with black handles for a clean and modern look. While glass panels provide elegance and the illusion of more space, we decide to fill them in with solid wood panels for added privacy.

Configuring the Rooms: The versatile space provides an opportunity for various room arrangements. We divide the loft into smaller rooms, leaving some open for customization. While we decide to keep one area as a bedroom, the purpose of other rooms is yet to be determined. Will we create a luxurious bathroom, a cozy pantry, or a practical storage closet? The possibilities are endless, and we look forward to finding the perfect purpose for each space.

Furnishing and Decorating: Once the layout is complete, it's time to bring the apartment to life with furniture and decorative elements. We select pieces that complement the modern aesthetic of the loft, opting for sleek and minimalist designs. The blue and gray color scheme continues to influence our choices, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. We aim to strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics, ensuring each room serves its purpose while also exuding style and comfort.

Final Touches and Completion

As we near the end of our transformation journey, we focus on adding the final touches to the loft. We patch up any remaining plasterwork, touch up paint, and make sure every corner is clean and polished. We also take the time to address any electrical or plumbing issues, ensuring the apartment is not only beautiful but also functional and safe. With the last details in place, the loft is ready to welcome its new owner.

Conclusion

We have successfully transformed a warehouse loft into a stylish and modern apartment. From the initial assessment and clean-up to the final touches, this journey has allowed us to unleash our creativity and design skills. The Blue and gray color scheme, along with the sleek windows and contemporary furnishings, has completely transformed the space. This loft now stands as a testament to the endless possibilities of renovation. We are proud of the outcome and excited to present this stunning apartment to potential buyers. Join us in the next episode as we embark on another house flipping adventure. Until then, happy flipping!
