Designed by Corey Kingston of Le Whit, Pioneer Square Loft in downtown Seattle is an exercise in contrasts, combatting the client’s ephemeral industry with timeless design. The client, a Seattle native tech CEO based in New York, wanted the 79sqm space to act as a getaway sanctuary as well as an incubator for personal projects. Le Whit maintained maximum open space so the loft can morph to accommodate creative processes and elicit a sense of clarity and calm.

The bathroom is the real star of the show, so we’ll start there. In order to maintain an open plan, space is divided into four compartments that wrap around the living space. A washroom, shower, toilet, and sauna – yes, a sauna – are housed in an L-shaped white wooden box that fits neatly into a corner. The bedroom is located on a mezzanine above, accessed via a built-in ladder. Contrasting the brightness of the outer palette, the bathroom floors are tiled with black cement and clad in charred timber using the traditional Japanese technique Shou Sugi Ban, which makes the material resistant to fire and mould.
