Freestanding Loft Brings Urban Style To Quiet Atlanta

Resisting much of Atlanta’s architectural impulse towards sanitized suburbia, music executive and amateur furniture designer Shawn Moseley commissioned designer Scott Ball to create a freestanding urban loft. Using structurally insulated panels prefabricated off-site, Ball amassed 2,000 square-feet of living space and a 1,100-square-foot basement garage and workshop inside an open floor plan that’s clad in corrugated steel, sheet metal and other exposed construction elements. The entire front wall of the contemporary house swings and opens to a large outdoor terrace and a floating staircase was custom built to access to second floor spaces. [via dwell]
