A Warm, Minimalist Loft

A discussion with owner Frank Pierce about Douglas Riddle’s clean, simplistic design for the urban loft

By Sarah Carter Levitch Photos by Robert Burge When Frank Pierce moved to Old Louisville, he thought he wouldn’t be staying for too long, but 10 years later, he still resides at the Central Park Lofts. Captivated by the charm of the historic buildings and the abundance of windows in his loft, Pierce decided to stay. Originally a commercial building built in the 50s, the space was transformed into loft apartments 12 years ago. We spoke with Pierce about his work with Douglas Riddle of Bittners and how they kept things simple to create a serene atmosphere.
