Warehouse Living

[HMFIC]

The idea of living in a converted warehouse has always captured a bit of my attention. Being close to and living within an area where you can get to most anything by walking. Parking your car / truck inside the warehouse even, perhaps dedicating the whole lower section to garage and work space. The bricks, beams and industrial look offset by furnishings, rugs and decoration inside. It's not for everyone and it might not even be for me, but I'm just curious... If I worked downtown, I'd consider it more strongly.

What say you guys? Any thoughts, experiences, idea, know someone doing it, have any leads on good property, etc... ?

Kinda cool

I always though it would be pretty cool to do something like that myself. Not to mention you'd have room to park all your toys inside, no yard to mow and plenty of room to work out and play indoors!

 

[Perplexed]

It's a nifty idea, but I'd be concerned about several things - including security, HVAC bills, and yes, the lack of property on which to do stuff like shoot, play with the dogs, etc. You'd have to have a city slicker frame of mind to like that kind of living.

If I was single and had the money, I'd do it in a heartbeat ... Some place far, far away from Oklahoma though ... Upper East Coast, most likely ...

A lot of my friends in St. Louis live in lofts similar to this.

I have always like this idea. Get all my toys in the house and have a loft for a living area.

Oh, how I would have liked to get comfortable with "Alex" back in the day...thanks, BB, for bringing back the memories!

Haha! I wanted to be a welder after I saw that movie ...

What toys???

For what it would cost to heat and cool such a large space would likely rule out any toys. I think if one ever had an opportunity to work in such a building, it might just change one's mind.
