Houzz TV: Tour a Warm Industrial Apartment in a Former Grain Silo
When retired lawyers Jim and Sheila Vidmar’s dream apartment came on the market in Baltimore, the empty-nest couple knew they had to jump on it. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner unit on the 11th floor of a 24-floor former grain elevator built in 1923 offers sweeping views of the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay.
To help maximise the views and cosy up the industrial concrete and corrugated steel interiors, the Vidmars hired designer Brigid Wethington of B Chic Interiors, who had worked with them on their previous home. Brigid, who used Houzz Pro software to manage the project, took inspiration from sunsets to bring in a palette of blues, whites and oranges. Durable fabric furnishings and multiple rugs also soften the rooms, while walnut flooring in a herringbone pattern and other wood details add warmth. A layered lighting scheme enhances design elements without taking away from the stunning views.
Wow,this is wonderful.
I don’t normally like high rises but this one brings in so much light . Nice and sophisticated but still looks like a fun place to live.
Designer knew! her clients well from previous collaboration and was able to execute perfectly the entire condo renovation in a challenging space! Inspiring! Well done Houzz!
Incredible!!
Amazing spaces! Seems like it's a work of art- bringing together the rustic, industrial, beautiful, and best of all - the views. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely love it!
I’m not an industrial style fan, but this space is gorgeous! So thoughtful…I’d always have gatherings here!
I must admit my first impression of this home was one of disbelief that anyone would choose to live here but on further reading I can understand the attraction of being part of a community living in such an historical building. The interior space and the views are truly unique. I went on to educate myself on what a grain elevator actually is and it was fascinating reading indeed.
