I really love everything about this. All the artwork is beautiful.

Thanks for the tour! What a fabulous space. I think it's all gorgeous and the parrot's not bad, either. :))

Wish that fireplace was mine!

Wonderful artist house. Really a big fan of the Atticus' art.

Very cool, but the "spine-like" staircase scares the heck out of me. I would fall off for sure.

Very interesting space, love the art work! Where did you purchase the modern dining chairs?

I would like to see his metal mesh sculptures in person! They did a wonderful job on the building.

Unbelievable!!!! The entire space is a work of art. It must be amazing to live life in such an exciting, eclectic environment. Thank you for inviting us in!

I am fascinated by the art, will check out their websites!

Crazy cool!

I love the mesh sculpture above the master bed.

Thank you! It's a great place to come home too. For more info on Atticus' artwork, please visit www.atticus-adams.com or friend on Facebook to see a monthly peek of what he is currently working on.

Not only is the mesh sculpture above the bed in the master BR amazing, the paint color on the wall is very unique. It is a perfect complement to the wood finish of the bed, and it makes the sculpture pop and sing!!

What a super cool eclectic home. Even the old school TV looks good :)

@Miranda Rose--our dining room table is made from maple boards taken from the floors of railroad box cars. I've eaten many a meal on this beautiful table and never once considered that there was something weird about the source of the wood.

Oozing with personality, love the art pieces!

I loved how Garry described that repurposed objects bring with them their own stories, their own pasts. I never watch videos on Houzz, but this one just compelled me to sit there and watch every second. It is amazing and wonderful and I want Atticus' art!

Love everything I saw, especially the artwork, which is so original. Thanks for showing it.

Thanks so much. Atticus' artwork can be seen at his website. Atticusadams.com.

WOW, my mind is blown away.....this is so incredible!!! I LOVE their re-use of so many various items & materials. Truly magnificent!!! BRAVO gentlemen!

Oh..That Studio!! and your loft. I absolutely love everything about this!! If I wasn't already and artist, I would be inspired to Be one! I actually had goosebumps and chills when I saw not only your studio space, but your work! Isn't it funny how a space that you create in can make a huge impact on your work? Your work has come alive in this space, and it was an blessing and a gift to see this video of reclaimed pieces, and Garry your design work is breathtaking. So many details, and so much history in this space. Thank you Atticus, and Garry for sharing your work space, your home, and your heart with us. It was truly and inspiration!

More of this kind of video HOUZZ! Loft with Soul. Sublime Art. Who could ask for more? Kudos to you two!

WOW for sure!! Any way to obtain a Website for the artist...I might be interested in purchasing a piece of his work. I too have a larger open home and can envisage it here.....

Just amazing. Warm and interesting and full of character. These guys are so neat. Thanks for this! Love it!

A home filled with personality! I see beautiful homes often on Houzz, but they sometimes seem soulless. This loft shows the owners' creativity and love for repurposed materials. Love Atticus' artwork too. Overall, a breath of fresh air.

Beyond marvelous. These fellas are an inspiration to all us would-be-artiste bureaucrats.

This really appeals to me because, while it's open and modern, it also has a coziness to it. My favorite quote: "I like to give new life to old things." There is definitely a memory and an energy to old things that you can't replicate with new versions, plus it's a great way to recycle! I hope houzz publishes still pictures of this property--I kept having to stop the video!

Love it all! I also want to say that I love these Houzz videos where the story and the process of individuals homes is told. Thank you!

Great job guys! Everything is unique, artistic, warm, and comfortable. I love the Atticus' artwork. Does he have a website for his work?

PURE JOY!!!

Garry, this is fantastic!! Congratulations on an amazing project that is also your home. I have admired Adams' work for some time and hope to have a client purchase some day.

Just wonderful. Creative, workable, beautiful, and personal.

I want to live in that loft too! It is fascinating, whimsical, creative - I love it!

For those looking for still photos and more info, here is the Houzz article about this space: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52975161

Is there a place where we can see still pictures? I'd love to save a few to my idea book!

FANTASTIC!!! Perfect balance between open, light, clean....and funky. I LOVE how they reused. Too many people when they do that, sort of 'show off the quirkiness' but everything they did was imaginative, not trite, but lent a stable, homy, sense if security. You guys ROCK! ("Rock the Loftspace, Rock the Loftspace")

Fabulous! Bravo!

I love the teal wall in the master bedroom. Can we get the paint color??

After watching the video, I was inspired to learn more about Atticus' beautiful art. Here's his website for anyone else interested: http://www.atticusadams.com/

I'm from Pittsburgh and want to thank you both for letting everyone into your fantastic home!! I drive thru Lawrenceville and love what there doing down there. It takes special people to tackle that kind of project with a blend of insight and passion. The fact that you did it with reclaimed materials and recycled furniture and appliances is just great! LOVE LOVE LOVE your home!!!!!!!

I love everything,the guys did a sweet job.I really love Adams art work.I want to hang out and pick their brains.Thanks for your ideas,I am Cheryl

Brilliant! Absolutely lovely. Definitely the right way to do renovation. Also love the art pieces. Lisa

Lisa again. I am from Johannesburg South Africa by the way. Also a gritty city where lots of this kind off work happening.

As a former Pittsburgher I think I remember that location. Decades ago I used to purchase brass there. Kudos for the space and the talent, vision, and means to pull it off. Lawrenceville (parts of which remain hostile} is becoming gentrified as more and more people abandon the commute over one or more of a dozen main bridges to get into town. If you can safely park a car there, you're golden. Money generated by the world class universities and health facilities assist. I know that it took time but I would give a lot to have the opportunity to weed through your "warehouse" (and dumpsters of discards). With the price of teak and stainless steel already in the space the purchase had to approach a bargain. They have a good eye too. If you have the space, $45 for a womb chair -- unbelievable! Nice design, well executed, and happy. Good on you both.

Inspiring! Wonderful work! The dialogue resonates with me regarding the resurrection of life in old things and the warmth that their stories tell us. The adventures of treasure hunting in second hand stores and Craigslist have been the only way for me to find what I'm looking for and at the right price. Appreciating the quality of well made unique items from the past and recycling for the environment is a win-win. The work you both have created is amazing...the space and the sculptures? Living art. Well done gentlemen.

Spectacular!!! Utterly inspired.

I am bowled over by this place -- totally devoid of cliches, and the homeowners' sculptures are so beautifully interwoven into the larger scheme. Really a testament to their talent and vision. This New Yorker is definitely rethinking Pittsburgh!

Brilliant job, well done!

Aside from that (!) I would love to see floor plans (before and after) whenever major renovations are involved. I think you can learn more from floor plans than without about the work involved.

I so much admire the sense of respect and appreciation for items that others have enjoyed, the economy of these decisions, and the imagination these choices required. But before all that, there was the immense physical effort of the clean-up. And then came all the labors of creating this beautiful place. Atticus Adams' carefully placed artworks offer luminous movement, a kind of hoarding of light, as well as psychic release alongside the gorgeous sturdy weightiness of many of the pieces. Congratulations! It must feel deeply satisfying to live in a place you have made and will inevitably continue to create.

Best thing I've ever seen on Houzz! I lived in Lawrenceville on Fisk. It must have been a blast to figure out how to make the most of everything you found in that space. I loved your interview. Atticus, your work is just amazing!

The artists loft home was one of the most original, creative spaces I have ever seen. The design of the home, the art work and lighting and the collected furniture were amazing. Good job.

What an awesome home; what an awesome couple; what awesome art!

My daughter and son-in-law have a house in Highland Park. When my husband (Lawrence) and I came down from NY to help with the babies, we would drive through Lawrenceville and joke that we should live there. I love the guys' home, the design, the artwork, Congo...everything. I'm know I'll be trying to purchase something for our NY apartment. (Not NYC...but a funky river town 90 miles up the Hudson.)

Please send us an e mail the next time you are visiting Pittsburgh, we d love to host a studio visit.

Thank you very much, Garry. Hold that thought.

I love your loft. you both have done a great job in making it a home. love it.

Absolutely FABULOUS!!!! Great job guys!!

I LOVE that so many materials were repurposed from the building rather than it all going into the landfill, as well as the great finds in the furniture. It proves that you don't have to purchase brand new materials to make a space aesthetically pleasing. All the textures and surfaces compliment each other. And the textile sculptures-----WOW!

This is exactly the type of project that I would love to work on. The re-purposed materials give the space so much visual interest, every surface and piece demand closer inspection and attention. Even better, is the fact that saw the potential in a derelict building in an established neighborhood. Their hard work built a beautiful home that will benefit their community for decades to come. This type of investment in older neighborhoods is sorely needed in my city.

Great job. Very artistic. Bravo.

FAB in every way! Very inspiring!!! Thank you!!!

I clicked on this story not thinking that I would like it very much. I was so wrong! I absolutely love what Atticus and Gary have been able to accomplish with their space. They are so right about using recycled materials. They really have maintained the soul of the old building. Well done and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your home.
