A Visionary’s Project
Turning a commercial space into a new home is a project that requires vision. When faced with the task of turning an old building into a habitable one, make sure you are able to embrace the quirkiness that you find in the first place.
When you think that you need to cover the damaged plaster walls, think again. You can, instead, polish the said walls and highlight their aged patina. The glass walls front could be kept where they are so the
Now it’s time to convert these rough diamonds into something of a modern convenience. Warehouse conversions are getting more and more popular especially in cramped cities such as San Francisco, New York and Chicago.new inhabitants could have a great view of the downtown area. What you get when you retain the old building parts is the old character of the industrial building but with an updated look.
Don’t think that converting a commercial space into your home is going to be an easy task, though, as it won’t be. Industrial buildings do not offer the same plumbing systems. The walls and window placements are also far from conventional.
What you can benefit from are the open space layouts and high ceilings. While these features are difficult to tackle, they can offer visual delights that no other physical structures can offer.
Prepare for other sorts of surprises such as asbestos tiles, lead paint and other concerns such as unstable foundations. These are pretty common with older types of buildings. Know all these features from the onset as it can take months for such to be removed.
You will need to hire a professional electrician to set up a new electrical system for the commercial space turned would-be home. Plumbing must also be taken care of. See also that natural light is welcomed into your new home. Request for pendant lights that can be used for both functional and aesthetic means.
A huge part of your planning should – preferably – include a landscaped courtyard right at the heart of the building. See if you can have the roof deck dressed up for your social requirements.
As for the penthouse, this is the perfect place for a huge master bedroom that is adjacent to the master bath. You can even house your private art collections in that spacious area.
Finding a place in the city is getting more and more taxing. Buyers are looking into even bigger homes which they are willing to refashion if necessary. In the city of Manhattan, for instance, a parking garage is already being converted into condo.
The creation of commercial to residential is an effective way of widening the options for real estate inventory. If you don’t plan on turning the whole commercial structure into a residential space then you can retain a commercial section. The front part of the home could be your home office while the back part would serve as your place of rest.
So go ahead, seek them out – factories, warehouses, and mills. These may not look like cozy spaces at first but redesigning them can convert them into beautiful, modern homes – just believe that you have it in you to go through this huge project.
