At Arkonaplatz: Redeveloped Loft with outstanding features, balcony, lift, open views, fireplace

Hidden away in the second courtyard of a classic Altbau ensemble, this exceptional loft building with its striking brick façade reveals itself as a true architectural highlight. Originally constructed as a brush factory, the quiet rear building – perfectly shielded by the front house and side wing – was carefully and elegantly revitalised by 2021. A historic staircase with stone steps and a modern, retrofitted lift ensure comfortable access to the upper floors. The building also includes a basement level with a private storage room and a ¼ special right of use to a fully equipped fitness room. The original industrial structure of the former factory has been meticulously restored, the building services completely renewed, and the vaulted ceilings filled with sound-insulating lightweight concrete – ensuring state-of-the-art acoustic performance between the individual lofts.

The impressive loft on the fourth floor offers approx. 183 m² and captivates with high vaulted ceilings, refurbished steel beams and columns, and new insulated mullioned windows with dark-lacquered wooden frames. Their design is echoed inside by custom-made steel-and-glass partitions. The former freight lift beside the kitchen has been transformed into a charming winter garden. Floors are finished in polished poured-asphalt terrazzo; a thoughtfully designed lighting concept with ceiling spots and LED wiring for the vaults, along with heavy metal switches from Ave, creates elegant accents throughout.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by an approx. 106 m² open-plan living area with a Minacciolo kitchen (“Natural Skin” series in brass and dark wood), designed as an elegant bar seamlessly flowing into the living space. On the west-facing side, folding window elements open onto a balcony with unobstructed views over the low surrounding buildings.

A particular highlight is the adaptable floor plan: the room behind the kitchen, currently used as a guest or study room, is separated from the living area by sound-insulated glass elements (optionally with theatre curtains). If desired, this layout can be mirrored on the opposite side of the living area, enabling the loft to be converted into a four-room apartment – without compromising its open atmosphere or generous proportions.

The main bedroom features a Velux Skydeck window and a monoblock air-conditioning unit. In front lies a spacious walk-in dressing room fitted with an Italian designer shelving system. The en-suite bathroom includes a theatre-style shower, bathtub, washbasin, toilet and bidet. Sicilian floral-glazed lava tiles meet dark-lacquered boat wood on walls and floors, complemented by a brass towel warmer, matte-white fittings by Fantin, bathroom ceramics by Cielo, and fittings by Antonio Lupi. The guest bathroom, accessed from the entrance hall, offers comparable quality, including a theatre-style shower, toilet, bidet, and a niche for a washing machine and dryer.

This move-in-ready loft blends lovingly restored industrial character with first-class features and remarkable attention to detail.
