What is the material on the floor? - I love the look and texture of the floor. Can you please tell me what it is? Thanks! -Robin »

PLACE, hl johnston architect ltd Thank you! It's the structural concrete slab, sealed and polished with an acrylic topcoat. I like to keep materials simple, and concrete can be so beautiful, why not let it show? There's radiant heat in the floor, so it's warm on your feet, too.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Lily Gahagan to Planes, Trains and Automobiles
In an urban loft, it's possible there could be way more space in your dining room than in your garage. Make the most of it by bringing an impeccably clean bike inside.
A few of the following examples feature rods and cables oriented horizontally rather than vertically. This stair combines the vertical and the horizontal by using a woven mesh. In this design the mesh is held within a frame that "floats" within another frame connecting the stair to the steel stringers. It is a detail-intensive design that some may see as busy, but it is fitting with the loft-like space marked by exposed steel joists.
added by Lisa Frederick to So Your Style Is: Industrial
Style Secret: Heavy MetalIf there's a go-to industrial material, it's metal. Tin, steel, iron and aluminum create a clean, cool, functional sensibility and lend just the right touch of sleekness without feeling too upscale. Anything that can be forged or welded is fair game: exposed ductwork, stairwells, countertops, divider walls. Smart strategy: Choose "cold" metals (not gold or brass) that have a matte finish or a kiss of patina. Industrial style is not about shine and sparkle — save that for your jewelry. And break up all the metal with other materials, such as wood or stone, to keep from feeling as though you live in a factory (unless, of course, that's what you want).
2. Another well-detailed, well-thought-out project. Every detail, material and connection chosen furthers the overall idea, creating consistency and authenticity. The overhead door expands on the industrial semblance, as do the exposed steel trusses, woven steel fabric and raw metal.

Converted spaces are not the only homes getting the industrial treatment. Concrete floors, raw metals, open web steel joists (OWSJ) and garage doors are all industrial elements used in this newly constructed home.

This has a couple of alternate ideas I had at going on - the industrial joists as beams and the windowed garage door. Its a different direction from Midcentury post & beam look but might work, especially if we go with cement floor.
