The Open Loft · Upper Floor

Top of the golden staircase.
A room without limits.

Step off the staircase and the whole upper floor opens up. A generous, light-filled loft that has been a media room, an entertainment space, a home gym, and a family hangout — sometimes all at once.

The Loft

The upper floor begins
with a surprise.

Most homes have a landing at the top of the stairs — a narrow corridor leading to bedroom doors. At 4007 Strendal, the staircase opens into a full, open loft. No corridor. No narrow passage. A proper room, with triple windows looking over the neighbourhood and enough space to define entirely on your own terms.

The half-wall railing creates a connection to the staircase below — open, airy, and architecturally interesting — without sacrificing the usability of the space. It feels like an arrival, not just a landing.

The Golden Staircase
The warm hardwood staircase with white balustrade rises directly into this loft — so the first thing you see as you come upstairs is light, space, and windows. It sets the tone for the entire upper floor.

How This Space Can Live

One open room.
Every family uses it differently.

🎬
Media & Entertainment
The surround sound wiring is already in the walls. A large screen, a proper speaker setup, comfortable seating — the loft is ready to become the best media room in the neighbourhood.
Surround sound pre-wired

Games & Play Room
Carpet underfoot, space to spread out, a room separated from the main living areas — an ideal dedicated play space for children or gaming setup for the whole family.

Home Office Corner
The loft is large enough to carve out a dedicated work area alongside the main use. Triple windows provide excellent natural light — and the ethernet runs to this floor too.

🔊 Surround sound wiring is already in-wall on both floors. No retrofitting, no cables to hide. Your entertainment system goes straight in — on this floor and on the ground floor below.

The Space

Large windows.
Genuine room to breathe.

The triple window runs nearly the full width of the front wall — bringing in daylight and a view over the quiet cul-de-sac neighbourhood. On a clear day the sky is the backdrop to the room.

The full depth of the loft, visible in this shot, shows what's possible — the main seating area, the shelving wall for display and storage, and still room for a separate zone if you want one. The space is wider than it photographs.

Upstairs, a large open loft becomes your entertainment hub — while the bedrooms give everyone their own retreat.
