The idea of the loft, which implies the conversion of abandoned industrial areas bakeries, wine shops, vodokachka and customs warehouses – in housing, offices and art space, was born in USA. In 1950 – 60 – ies lofts were at the peak of popularity, and in them (for example, in the famous "Factory" Andy Warhol) was concentrated almost all the Bohemian life of new York. Now this fashion trend came to Russia. In Petersburg the first lofts used as exhibition spaces, appeared relatively recently. Unfortunately, very few undertake complex and costly reconstruction of old historical buildings. However, those who on this is solved, spent force and means be rewarded handsomely.

The building was erected in 1875-76 years on the project of the Russian architect E. G. Yurgens characteristic of factory of building of that time "brick style". Today it is in the unified state register of objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation.

All these original designs turned into a genuine artifacts that create integral artistic image. Huge, easily transformable space saves not only the unique atmosphere of his time, but in the literal sense of the spirit of place – light smell the beer malt.
