This urban renewal has also sparked a rise in demand for the luxury condos and loft residences in the area. <br><br>\u201cI was fortunate to find myself at the center of the loft movement in the Arts District in the late \u201990s,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/design-firms\/unheim\/\">Micah Heimlich, principal of the firm Unheim<\/a> and one of few design veterans who has been privy to the full extent of the neighborhood\u2019s transformation over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a small strip of land to the east of downtown bordering the river that used to be heavy manufacturing. This is mainly where the artist-in-residence lofts are located,\u201d says Heimlich of the creative spaces that have since been reimagined into sleek lofts that epitomize modern city living. <br><br>A trained architect who has worked across various disciplines, spanning interiors to landscape, Heimlich has become somewhat of the go-to designer for high-profile city dwellers looking to transform an expansive open loft space into a contemporary yet welcoming home. \u201cEverything gets a new life,\u201d says Heimlich. \u201cThat is what L.A. loft living is about.\u201d<br><br>Here, The Study chats with Heimlich, who shares some design insight on a few of his loft designs in Downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Break All The Design Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-living-room-area-Full-950x633.jpg\" alt=\"Living room in the loft of Micah Heimlich\" class=\"wp-image-317611\"\/><figcaption>Heimlich opted for an simple and unexpected seating arrangement in his home\u2019s living area.

A classic artist\u2019s loft is liberating. It frees the mind,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That notion is nowhere better showcased than in his own loft, where spaces blur into each other and furniture, such as a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/charles-and-ray-eames\/furniture\/seating\/\">Eames chairs<\/a> and the dining table, are arranged to offset, rather than complement, the linearity of the overall space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-950x633.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-950x633.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption>Custom bookcases and a table of Heimlich\u2019s design delineates the dining area, where a tall muralist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/modern-task-lamps\/\">work lamp<\/a> from the 1920s occupies a corner. Photo by Cameron Carothers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs my aesthetic is basically an experimental one, it tends to buck convention,\u201d says Heimlich who takes a bar-none approach to designing loft spaces and exploring innovative uses for conventional materials. \u201cI prefer the repurposed industrial aesthetic and I appreciate naturally sourced materials used in unexpected ways in modern lofts,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heimlich has a special affinity for reclaimed sliding fire doors with modified hardware and 1950s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/industrial-metal-cabinets\/\">metal cabinets<\/a>. \u201cThese can be dyed, textured, deconstructed, twisted or sliced, but each material should be treated in a way that is consistent with its own innate character or function,\u201d he notes. The acid-washed and finished concrete floors in his home are original to the industrial building and still retain traces of the machinery that existed in the space 80 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Maximize Function Everywhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-9975_Lrg.jpg\" alt=\"LA loft multipurpose space by Unheim\" class=\"wp-image-317671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-9975_Lrg.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-9975_Lrg-447x350.jpg 447w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-9975_Lrg-950x744.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-9975_Lrg-120x94.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-9975_Lrg-768x601.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeciding how you want to use a specific space in any loft is key,\u201d says Heimlich. Functionality is top of mind when he&#8217;s designing open lofts, which, while often providing more room for experimenting with decor and furniture arrangements, demand a strong vision for functionality as well as versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This multipurpose niche \u2014 at once a workspace, reading nook and a showcase for art \u2014 succinctly captures Heimlich\u2019s sentiment. \u201cLiving in lofts requires you to rethink the way you live,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-0303_Lrg-634x950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-0303_Lrg-634x950.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-0303_Lrg-233x350.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-0303_Lrg-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-0303_Lrg-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-0303_Lrg-622x933.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-0303_Lrg.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><figcaption>To optimize functional storage in the same home, Heimlich installed a custom bookcase that runs the length of a long hallway.

He notes that, despite the openness of lofts, making room for functional design can be the difference between a compelling space and a cluttered one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Case in point: By adding a custom full-length bookcase to a long, high-ceilinged hallway, Heimlich was able to optimize an otherwise pass-through space. \u201cThe thing to consider about \u2018loft couture\u2019 is to avoid preconceived notions of what design and spaces should be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">Add Color Strategically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-Elysian-Corner-634x950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-Elysian-Corner-634x950.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-Elysian-Corner-233x350.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-Elysian-Corner-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-Elysian-Corner-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-Elysian-Corner-622x933.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-Elysian-Corner.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><figcaption>An Eames chair and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/rugs-carpets\/turkish-rugs\/\">Turkish rug<\/a> brighten up this corner in a Unheim-designed apartment located in L.A.\u2019s Arts District. Photo by Robert Ransom<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a modern space, you really have to take a position on color,\u201d says Heimlich. His advice? \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid of color or how much of it to use. Better to be bold than to bargain with shades of the same basic hue,\u201d he adds, emphasizing his own fearless yet tactful approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside this Los Angeles loft, he anchored a corner window with an antique rug in vibrant red, creating a concentrated focal point for color that perfectly juxtaposes with the contemporary bones of the apartment. He points out out that the backdrop adds another element of color. \u201cNature provides the fullest spectrum of colors, and a window with the blue sky showing through it counts just as much,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"933\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-Getty-Barn-Loft.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-Getty-Barn-Loft.png 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-Getty-Barn-Loft-479x350.png 479w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-Getty-Barn-Loft-120x88.png 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-Getty-Barn-Loft-768x561.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><figcaption>Large-scale art makes a strong statement in this loft bedroom by Unheim.

A room that is solely beige on brown on tan is a total disaster,\u201d says Heimlich, who often looks to distinctive artwork to provide the jolt of color needed to warm up muted loft spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His perspective is that less is always more, opting for fewer pieces that add major color and impact. \u201cUse as little as possible, and what art you do show should be world-class,\u201d notes Heimlich, who livened up this penthouse bedroom with a blue-tile artwork by Tristano di Robilant and a piece that already belonged to the homeowner, an art heiress.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-dining-area-Full-1000x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/industrial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBrowse Industrial Style Furnishings\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/industrial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Shop All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With its ever-changing roster of buzzy restaurants, hip galleries, and chic new hotels, all eyes have been on Downtown Los Angeles, which has been experiencing a revitalization over the past several years.
