About this space
Spread across two floors, our intimate loft space features a stunning main gallery with exposed beams and distressed concrete walls.
The 14' table in the center of the room is perfect for a buffet or heavy appetizer spread and the 1920's antique French bar is the perfect place to pour beer and wine to your guests. Finishing out the first floor is a lounge space with a cozy sectional, a restroom and extra garage space that can be used for catering and storage.
The second floor is accessible via custom grated stairs. The space features an industrial kitchen and living space - complete with a second sectional and curated art. There is a second-floor terrace overlooking the ivy-covered courtyard - plenty of room for an event up to 100 guests!

About Charcoal Factory Loft
Fifteen years ago Stuart Grannen, the founder of the Chicago staple Architectural Artifacts Inc., purchased an old Charcoal factory in the Lincoln Yards neighborhood.
He, and an internationally acclaimed designer, converted this incredible factory space into an AIA award-winning home. They were committed to keeping the original aesthetic of the building and set off to preserve the fire brick and concrete walls, original factory windows and gorgeous timber beam floors and ceiling.
Stuart soon began receiving requests for photoshoots and small parties which led him to conclude that this space was too special to keep to himself! He has decided to let others share in the joy of this architectural masterpiece. If you are looking to host 15 guests for a dinner party or 100 of your closest family and friends for an intimate wedding, Charcoal Factory Loft is a space like no other in Chicago!
