Step Inside an Industrial-Chic Forever Home in Pittsburgh

Stacy Weiss and Will Carpenter created their forever home in an unconventional space: a 1920s commercial building that’s been a mechanic’s garage, a tile store and an artist’s studio. Weiss, owner of Weisshouse, a Pittsburgh resource for high-end vintage home goods, and Carpenter, a general contractor and owner of Carpenter Construction, became their own clients when they finally found this space. “We originally lived in a three-story house, then sold it and rented a loft while looking for a building to repurpose. We knew we wanted an industrial feeling with one-floor living,” Weiss says. Now, what was once a commercial building is reincarnated as a loft-inspired home.

Absolutely stunning. Designer AND contractor husband/wife couple ?! Of course their home would be perfect. I really do love the scale and the contemporary elements.

One of the most stunningly put together homes I've ever seen.

"I love anything well designed" That is also my way of thinking. When you buy something well designed you know is going to last and look good 10 or 20 years from now.

I know exactly where this house is in my old neighborhood. SO exciting to get a peek inside! Absolutely gorgeous and takes advantage of what sunlight Pittsburgh gets. Love their store in Shadyside.

To die for! I love this space and the bold aesthetic. As a former Pittsburgher, I am delighted to see the home of the owner of Weisshouse which is such a great store. I also love hearing the husbands PA accent! :-)

The house have so much character. Beautiful place .

Hiding the ducts was one of the best design decisions they made. Exposed ductwork is so trendy today but the absence of it in this apartment makes the place look more refined. Amazing job.

This house is a piece of Art, while it looks both functional and comfortable. Unbelievably gorgeous.
