Our passion is to bring you extraordinary food and wine experiences while preserving the integrity and enhancing the unique character of our 150-year-old building.
We’re excited to introduce you to our newest project at Gideon Owen, The Loft. Over the past few months, construction crews have been working diligently to renovate this second-floor event space for you, your family, and friends.
In the process, we’ve been able to preserve and showcase the limestone walls original to the building and even uncovered two beautiful windows hidden behind plaster.
The Loft is set to be complete by August 2022, and we’ve already started taking reservations for private events.
This 2,500-square-foot room has always been used as an event space, and with these new renovations, your next gathering will be elevated to new heights with a unique backdrop of historic charm and modern accents.
The Loft can accommodate groups up to 100 guests. It’s a versatile space to celebrate any occasion, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate meetings, and more. The possibilities are endless for your next event.
There is also a dedicated lounge space for comfortability and conversation, and beautiful fixtures will add to the ambiance, creating a lasting impression for your guests.
Let us help you turn life’s biggest moments into a memorable experience in The Loft. To inquire about the event space, visit our Events page or contact events@gideonowenwine.com. And stay tuned for more updates throughout the summer.
Having worked on renovations myself, I know the excitement of revealing unexpected architectural gems. The specialists I consult for home remodeling services always encourage embracing a building's history while adding modern touches. This loft looks perfect for gatherings.
One thing I learned from our loft conversion is that open space doesn't mean one big room. You have to carve out distinct zones for sleeping, working, and lounging. We used a half-wall and different floor textures to define areas without closing them off. Also, lighting is tricky with high ceilings. Make sure you have layers of light, not just a single fixture. If you're planning a major overhaul, Luxury Home Remodeling isn't just about finishes but about how the space actually functions day to day.
The renovation looks fantastic, especially the decision to preserve the original limestone walls and uncover the hidden windows. Blending historic character with modern functionality is never easy, but those details are what give a space its personality. Wishing you a successful launch of The Loft! https://koolgatorhvac.com/
The point about uncovering what was already there rather than covering it up is exactly what makes historic spaces work. Silk Screen Studios in Philadelphia's Fishtown did the same with a former manufacturing building — exposed brick and heavy timber still intact, now 57 private lockable studios. For anyone looking to rent a space for small business use, month-to-month terms, no long commitment.
Its amazing how renovating an older building can reveal such hidden character. We had a similar experience uncovering original hardwood floors, and our remodeling contractor helped us make the most of every inch.
