Tucked away down a quiet street in Weststadt, one of Heidelberg’s most beautiful and historic districts, this 19th century former tobacco and cigar factory has been transformed into an eye-catchingly modern and atmospheric vacation home rental in Germany. Inherited years after its initial construction, the owners devoted themselves to repurposing every corner of the building, incorporating the rough industrial elements into a serene and stylish urban retreat. The rustic beams and metal girders retain an industrial appeal, while the interior has undergone a strikingly modern transformation in a seamless fusion of the contemporary and the traditional. Designed with passion and artistic flare, the cool whites, paired with saturated colors and concrete floors impart a modern refinement that’s both practical and elegant. The loft features high ceilings and large windows that form an expansive but intimate space that flows through the open plan layout that includes a sleek gourmet kitchen and dining island, a sitting area and sleeping zone with its own indulgent Villeroy & Bosch spa tub.
Elegant and inviting, the loft is designed with bespoke furnishings by renowned designers BoConcept and Novamobili, dramatic art and decor, and colorful lighting systems that add a bit of classic romanticism and a downtown edge.
