The 1844 file
One hundred and eighty-two years of being the room people remember.
The bricks are older than Confederation. The chandeliers run on the same grid we built in 2014. The kitchen was rebuilt for Baro in 2019. Every decade leaves something on the room.

VerifiedThe kids were running between the Loft floor and the rooftop until the parents made them come back down for dinner. Baro plated the whole room in 22 minutes. The grandparents kept commenting on the bricks.

Marketing lead, beauty brand

VerifiedWe've launched in five cities this year. The Loft was the only room that didn't need decor to look like the brand. Two trucks, four hours of load-in, and we ran a packed press preview the same night.

VerifiedThe room did half the work for us. Brick walls, the chandelier grid, sundown light off King West — we barely had to dress it. Mac ran the day like she'd been planning it for years.
