Step Inside A Cool, Industrial-Style Loft That Was Once An Office Space

In this loft makeover, designer Luca Campacci of Level Studio plays up the industrial building’s aesthetic with exposed ceilings, concrete floors and a book-lined den with custom metal doors. See how he turned the dated kitchen into a sleek hub with a white waterfall island contrasted by a moody black backsplash, seamless cabinets and clever push-open appliances. Plus, don’t miss the vibrant pops of color throughout!

❤ the den ... dream office.

[@janishani1]

Bravo, bravissimo, Luca! Simply beautifully done although not totally my taste. I would easily stay hours on end inside that library 😍🥰

[@AP12360]

I love the kitchen.

[@annjohnson8437]

I love this apartment! It is fresh, beautiful, and it looks fabulously livable. The kitchen is a work of art! ❤

[@fiddlersthree8463]

Wow!!! Colour, depth, interest, uniqueness .... What a wonderful change from the white walls, black window frames and "fun in the powder room." Ten thumbs up. This makeover is a show-stopper.

[@Bandaid17]

Beautiful. Not my taste but the design work is stellar. What about the bathroom?

[@josepharboleda335]

I would live in that den! I love the black shelving unit and how the books give it a pop of color.

[@cargogh]

Right at the start with Mr. Campacci's meticulously trimmed beard and confident voice, this project better be perfect. No disappointment. Everything addressed is improved. Overall sophistication exponentially raised. Not too much, yet not so sparse as to be cold. Great yellow choice for sofa; easily could have been too chrome or overly mustard. Great eye to appear so youthful. Really nice, good feel. Client has to be happy with results.

[@molexirmolexir3035]

Finally a library that’s not only floor to ceiling but includes a sliding ladder! Would’ve loved to see a bar incorporated into the shelving (personal preference - doesn’t take away from the library). Just add some Devialet Phantoms throughout the space & that’s a wrap!

[@susanwerner2453]

Wow. Beautifully done. Love how the art was played up. And especially love the library office room. I'm jealous ❤

[@susanfindell6154]

I absolutely love this! I love color, so it’s really nice to see color in a home. The den 😘. I’m going to save this for future reference and inspiration!

[@martaflorinapopescucalin2225]

Not my style, but good design is good design irrespective the style adopted. Exquisite work! ❤

[@Desire123ification]

Simply Beautiful! ✨

[@jimandjudyc48]

This is just the most fantastic, livable but beautiful loft. And a real library, with actual books that the owner truly loves and has read! Love the glassed-in effect there. Also love all the color against the neutrals. (And aren't Luca's eyes just mesmerizing?!)

[@sweeetisme]

I love the moody kitchen & den!

[@mesalady2007]

What an amazing transformation! I love to see more of Luca's work on this channel!

Absolutely beautiful. So jealous - want to live there. Did anyone get the name of the illustrate of the colourful prints in the lounge, it's Christof...something. Thanks!

[@Cactina]

Love it! I could relate to this client in their taste in books, their CN pieces... and so I really appreciate the wonderful job the designer has done in bringing this aesthetic to life!

[@lq7729]

love the library nook - divine! Wish they mounted the tv and juzzed up the bedroom a bit.

[@preciousowusu7743]

I've never seen a black kitchen no handles and no hardware now that's totally different.

[@saajackson]

Somehow looks like a renovation from 10 years ago

[@BronnBlackwater]

How much it cost for a project or this magnitude?

[@eattherich9215]

They never say but just let's say that you and me couldn't afford their services. However, having done up several homes over nearly 40 years, I don't need a tickbox of cliches.

[@fiddlersthree8463]

@@eattherich9215 No of course you wouldn't. As we see by your post below, you clearly are an expert. (Could we hear a second opinion of your "design" work over the nearly 40 years you claim? Or do we just take your word that it's above criticism? Post your last "do-up" and let us comment.)

[@eattherich9215]

It's too funny how you pulled me up for a spelling mistake but failed the comprehension test. I never said I was a "designer" or an expert, that's your projection, but I can interpret trends without applying them in a slavish fashion. Black is, in fact, my favourite colour and I have used it in my present bathroom and in the past one (long before it became commonplace) without it being a cliche. We are done here, but you can keep flogging that dead horse.

[@deborahunger4974]

So cool! Well done! Would sure like to know (just a ballpark figure or range) the cost when it was all was said and done. In fact, it wouldn't have to include the cost of furnishings or art, just the reno materials and work

[@therealjohnvance]

Love everything except the barn door. I've yet to meet a barn door that I like, unless it divides spaces that aren't all that private. But on a bedroom or bathroom -- no.

[@EyeByBrian]

100% correct.

[@cooperwesley1536]

Okay, so I'm not a fan of the Modern look and find it hard to live with, but THIS is a very nice and inviting space that I can definitely admire and appreciate. I especially love his use of color and that book-lined den! That being said, the bedroom is a major disappointment. He called it "calming," but it just looks boring and unfinished when compared to the public spaces. White walls, white bedding, minimal furniture, and wide-open windows are in no way "calming."

[@maddscientist3170]

Kitchen needed a white backsplash same material as the island....to dark all black for the light coming in wows & probably looks like a black hole in space at night

[@kathleen6349]

Zero warmth, no thanks! Looks like an institution.

[@minigiant8998]

just no to the painting over the bed.

[@kimmyhill]

About the bedroom: Are there any window treatments, i.e., hidden blinds or something? Also, the mirror reflecting the bed may pose some feng shui issues.

[@sandramalone3522]

Don't like it at all. Too 'boxy'' and no charm.

[@eattherich9215]

@0:54, that matt black finish is going to be a fingerprint magnet, especially as there are no handles. @1:45, that is a dust and debris trap. Ugh, black metal is so played out and will instantly date the space to the second half of the 2010s. Books as a backdrop to an online call is so distracting. People trying to read the books on the shelves won't be paying proper attention. @7:43, well the television wasn't perched halfway up the wall, but I see the barn door cliche. Designers need to step outside of the tickbox template and do something different. I have a list of at least 30 things that I hope stops happening in home makeovers.

[@fiddlersthree8463]

Oh dear!!! As for all your complaints, let's have a look at them. "... that matt (sic -- it's actually "matte." Would have thought an experienced "do-upper" would know that.) black finish is going to be a fingerprint magnet." Some people don't mind doing a quick wipe to take care of fingerprints, and we don't really know if this material even shows fingerprints. There is even "fingerprint-less" stainless steel these days, so this material may be fingerprint resistant. I would have thought someone as informed as you claim to be would know this. "... dust and debris trap." Again, some people don't mind doing a quick wipe of their kitchen beyond just the counter tops rather than just let it build up. Not labour-intensive, really. "...black metal is so played out..." Really??? I've never heard a designer say that. Some things are classic and can be applied in many imaginative ways. Saying a particular material is "played out" shows a lack of imagination in creative usage. "Books as a backdrop to an online call is so distracting." What???? Who spends time reading books in the backdrop? Hundreds if not thousands of professional online commentators and so on have books as a backdrop. You would prefer what, a blank wall? ",,,the barn door cliche (sic)." Yes, barn doors became CLICHÉS because everyone used them in all sorts of inappropriate ways in inappropriate designs. Thank heavens the farmhouse rage has died, taking its barn doors with it. However, there are still appropriate uses for barn doors. Throwing barn doors out with the farmhouse craze again shows a lack of imagination and the knowledge that just because something is overused and abused doesn't mean it doesn't' still have legitimate use in appropriate spaces and designs like industrial. Please allow the rest of us to share in your 30 things you hope stop happening. And perhaps you could also share your design credentials with us. You seem to have attended a design school with very odd ideas. Also, would you please provide us a link to your last "do-up" so we can be enlightened and learn from your expertise? Please allow space for comments.

​@@eattherich9215I'm ready to view your design portfolio and offer my own opinion!

[@eattherich9215]

I am not answerable to you. Have a blessed day.

[@_strawberriesandcigarettes]

I like how they incorporated so many colors rather than just sticking to white and black

[@mortalsting]

I just don't understand why anyone would pay somebody to do this simplistic so-called "design". A lot of design rules are ignored and/or not implemented right. For example: why are the windows not painted black? The den windows are and the windows aren't . This alone is already a missed chance for a great design. It just looks very basic and plain. Not exciting at all! And why would you call it industrial again?

[@fiddlersthree8463]

Did we just watch the same video???? Why where the windows not painted black??? Why should they be? Just because every non-thinking designer uses black window frames??Good grief. Black window frames?? If you want to nail your designer's feet to the early 2010's, the by all means, black window frames will do that in spades.

[@mortalsting]

@@fiddlersthree8463 obviously you know nothing about design. And you know nothing about industrial design. Sit down and keep quiet.

[@eattherich9215]

@mortalsting: it is a tickbox of cliches straight out of the HGTV school of makeovers. The materials maybe more expensive, but the effect is the same.

[@thelalanz73]

@@eattherich9215 Yet the owners are super happy with their makeover and living with it. So that is really all that matters. So long as you feel better sharing your snide negative opinions then everyones a winner
