Takahashi – Harb Loft and Library, designed by Naomi Darling Architecture LLC, is an interior renovation and conversion of an existing ground floor into a one-bedroom loft-style apartment and separate library workspace.

The existing constraints helped to organize the plan into three simple sections – one for sleeping, the central space for living, play, and eating, and the final section for support spaces.

The materials used in the apartment are simple and clearly defined: expressive ceramic flooring, white, textured walls, and light-colored wooden blocks providing a warm, cozy feel.
