  Everyone has seen all the crazy condo construction that has been going on in Edmonton.  There are mega-projects to be completed all over the city. More of the same old, same old, where you walk from one unit to the next you can’t remember the differences between each one since they’re all the same.

If  one is truly wants something different then there is always the loft condo concept. I know, I know, the term loft has been much maligned (aka Cambridge "lofts" downtown). While cubicles are great for students they are rarely something special but that’s another story.

One of Edmonton’s challenges is that few of its historical buildings have been preserved. What I wanted to introduce everyone to is a fantastic award winning loft by renowned local architect Gene Dub. The Seveth Street Lofts won an Urban Design award of excellence. You can read more about the award here. 

Construction started in 1928  as John Deer warehouse for western Canada. Featuring huge post and beam construction is just one of the hilites of this award winning building.  More importantly is the feeling you get when you enter the building.  From these each unit takes on a life of its own become the pallette of the owner.

Truly a special complex in a world full of ordinary.  Sample unit  www.Edmonton-loft.com
