Whether you are a car enthusiast or just like a converted structure with an industrial vibe, this redesigned house in Lyon, France may interest you. Hidden in the city’s bustling seventh district-near Central Park Sergent Blandan-the former garage was renovated in 2017 and now has approximately 2,163 square feet of fantastic interior space.
The 2,163 square foot loft has a spacious open layout. The main living area is on the first floor with exposed wooden beams under the high ceiling.
As soon as you enter the door, the wide steel frame windows and exposed rafters highlight the original charm of the structure. The comfortable mezzanine can be accessed through the black metal spiral staircase in the open-plan living area.
A large number of glass windows are used in the rear brick wall to allow plenty of natural light to enter the interior. To the right of the open dining area is a sunny work area with plenty of storage space.
The master suite has a fully refurbished bathroom with a free-standing bathtub. At the top of another spiral staircase, the upper level of the loft has three additional bedrooms, one of which has direct access to the roof terrace.
The view from the corner desk area shows the mezzanine above the main living area and the mechanic’s studio at the far end of the room.
Folding glass doors establish an indoor/outdoor connection between the living space on the ground floor and the lush courtyard garden. Skylights on the sloping roof bring extra sunlight to the interior.
The refurbished four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence maintains close contact with the building’s past-it even provides a fully equipped mechanic workshop with a raised car platform. The kitchen also uses refurbished cabinets from the original garage, and there is a remodeled bistro bar near the entrance to the outdoor courtyard.
“High-quality decoration, brightness and volume are the advantages of this unique property,” the listing agent pointed out. Other notable features include a large cellar, garden and roof terrace. Scroll forward to see more converted homes.
The open kitchen is located between the main living room and the mechanic’s garage. Above the bar, the skylight extends to the mezzanine.
A steel glass door connects the repairman’s garage with the ground-level living area. The walls are decorated with quirky retro signs, further merging old and new elements.
