e-lofts

Platinum

Alexandria, Virginia

Architect/Designer | Lord Aeck Sargent / Gensler

Developer | Novus Residences

Interior Designer | Carlyn and Company Interiors + Design

e-lofts represents the culmination of a two-year, $50 million effort to transform a formerly retrofitted, vacant office building into 200 market-leading, loft-style units. Each loft makes the perfect apartment for residents desiring more usable living space without extra cost, such as teleworkers, home-based businesses, or companies with 10 or fewer employees. With flexibility to be an office, apartment or live/work space, e-lofts immediately adapt to changing market conditions to meet demand wherever it is highest. The apartments can be reconfigured according to use: sliding pocket doors between the rooms can be opened to create one large loft or closed to section off the bedrooms from living and working spaces.
