In downtown LA, a Toy Factory loft is configured for work and play

Steel casement windows line two walls of this corner residence at the Toy Factory Lofts, a former manufacturing complex reworked for residential use in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles. The 1,941sqft interior retains the proportions associated with early industrial architecture — soaring ceilings, exposed concrete and an open structural grid — while daylight tracks across polished concrete floors throughout the day. The property is listed for $1,499,000.

Configured as a live-work space, the plan remains largely open, allowing living, dining and studio functions to share a single volume. A private balcony extends from the main room, adding outdoor space without interrupting the loft’s industrial character. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary appliances and connects directly to the primary living area. There is one bedroom and two bathrooms, alongside an in-unit washer and dryer. Residents have access to a rooftop pool with lounge areas and fireplace, a fitness centre, landscaped terrace and 24-hour on-site security. One parking space and guest parking are included.
