Welcome to The Loft at The Edge Wilson

​

A light-filled, peaceful space with its own private entrance. Thoughtfully designed by Barb White, the loft features soaring ceilings, two skylights that enhance the airy, open feel, a Euro-style bathroom with open shower and soaking tub, and a gourmet galley kitchen with a gas range. The furnishings are a comfortable blend of contemporary and classic, accented by art and objects collected over time from various parts of the world.

 

The loft spans the entire length and width of the building, with banks of windows on both the north and south sides. From here, we get to witness the magnificent sunrises and sunsets — a daily reminder of the beauty that surrounds us. Many of the building’s original historical elements have been preserved, including the stunning heart pine floors, which add warmth and character to the space.

 

Sebastian and I now live in the loft and feel incredibly fortunate to be able to live and work creatively at The Edge. Via an internal staircase, we have access to the two floors below us — including the main gallery space and the basement studio. We’ve set up three dedicated creative workspaces: a cozy corner in the loft for smaller projects, a quiet, contemplative studio in the white room on the middle floor, and a large, light-filled shared studio in the basement where we can spread out, make a mess, and paint. The basement is spacious enough for each of us to have our own area to work in, and it opens to a private courtyard through walk-out French doors — a welcome connection to the outdoors and a lovely place to step away and recharge.

 

I’ve always approached design with an eye for both form and function — whether I’m pulling together a meal from what’s in the fridge or arranging furniture into cozy, conversation-friendly spaces. I enjoy working with what's on hand and finding practical, beautiful solutions that make a space feel both lived-in and inspiring.
