Loaf is a Los Angeles–based practice led by Alfie Koetter and Luke Studebaker. The studio’s website is wittingly found at meetloaf.org. As to why the firm is named after a hunk of bread, Studebaker simply explained, “We’re just loafing around!” But the duo’s humor isn’t just on the surface, a sense of joy runs through their work, including a recent garage conversion and bathroom remodels for a home in Los Feliz, California.
The client, a Hollywood music composer named Jeff, needed a place to work from home that offers privacy from the rest of the residence and family and features acoustic separation. The detached 216-square-foot garage, located at the back of the home, was the likely spot for a music studio. Loaf approached the conversion by maintaining the rectangular plan without adding additional walls. Instead, the duo opened up one wall to the adjacent garden.Read more about music studio on aninteriormag.com.
