Coming to us from PRchitect, this stunning project from the design team at Istanbul's Ofist is truly one of a kind. The loft, designed specifically for a bachelor client, has a variety of creative features that are not just beautiful but tailored to the physical experience of the space. We're delighted to be able to give you a look inside this inspiring home.
