1850 Industrial St, Unit 107 – Arts District Loft by OWIU Studio
Japanese-Inspired Loft in Biscuit Company Lofts
Reimagined by OWIU Studio, this distinctive Arts District loft marries traditional Japanese design principles with modern innovation to stunning effect. Featured in Elle Decor, Forbes, Wallpaper, and Dezeen, this reimagined industrial residence offers architectural sophistication and serene simplicity in equal measure.
The Loft
Located in the historic Biscuit Company Lofts—a 1925 former Nabisco factory converted into luxury live/work residences—Unit 107 stands apart as a masterpiece of craftsmanship and restraint. Step inside from a private courtyard into a soaring, light-filled volume with 18-foot ceilings and an expansive open-plan layout.
Custom woodwork, hand-finished plaster walls, and natural materials bring warmth to the modern framework. The spacious chef’s kitchen anchors the main level with a concrete dine-in island, integrated cabinetry, and top-tier appliances. Dramatic lighting and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create an inspiring backdrop for entertaining or everyday living.
Connection to the Outdoors
Along the main level, 42 feet of sliding glass doors open wide to a tranquil, off-street corner—making this the only loft in the building with such a direct connection to the outdoors. The private patio and landscaped courtyard extend the living area into an urban oasis, perfect for morning coffee, open-air dining, or quiet reflection amid the city’s creative energy.
Flexible Living
A versatile guest bedroom doubles as a serene second living area, complete with Japanese-style built-ins, concealed storage, and raised tatami-style platforms that function as both bed frame and gathering space. Designed with flexibility in mind, the area transitions easily between private quarters and a meditative studio for reading, writing, or creative work.
A sculptural staircase—crafted from ten custom-fabricated panels with four angled interventions—leads to the mezzanine. Floating above the main level, this elevated perch offers the perfect workspace, studio, or quiet retreat.
Primary Suite & Amenities
Upstairs, the primary suite evokes calm with a newly designed walk-in wardrobe and spa-like en suite bath. Dual floating vanities, natural plaster finishes, and a Japanese soaking tub create a tranquil retreat that balances luxury with restraint. Every surface and texture has been carefully considered for harmony and light.
Building & Amenities
Residents of the Biscuit Company Lofts enjoy exceptional amenities, including a 75-foot saline pool, outdoor Viking BBQs, firepit lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center, and 24-hour concierge.
With Mills Act property tax savings and an unbeatable Arts District location near Bestia, Bavel, Soho Warehouse, and Hauser & Wirth, this architectural landmark represents the perfect blend of heritage, innovation, and design.
A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Los Angeles history in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
