This is Slip House by Carl Turner and it stacks private living spaces on the second, third, and fourth levels, over a ground level work space.
The above picture is a rendering of KUBIK Miami with that has bi-level units called LOTS (living over the studio).
Spaces at KUBIK are standardized and able to be combined in various configurations to fit the user's needs.
The above picture is of artist loft apartments in Washington DC called the Brookland Lofts; these units are flexible space studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units in a typical apartment layout with common gallery space and retail space on the ground level.
A comparison of the variety of units revealed that unit sizes in live-work properties range from approximately 650 SF studio spaces to 2,000+ SF in stacked units.
Typical apartment layout live-work spaces have bathroom, kitchens, and a large flexible space that can be fitted with specific work equipment as needed and as allowed by local zoning codes. Particularly in artist communities, common gallery space as well as shared advertising efforts are relatively standard amenities in the communities.
In stacked units, overall space tends to be more generous and, while the living space and working space are connected, usually by internal and external staircases, the private spaces for living are very separate from the ground level working spaces. These types of spaces are convenient for businesses that have employees that also use the space as well as the owner and for business that have a need for, and can benefit from, street traffic and customers being able to access the units easily.
Summary pages of precedents are below:
Unit sizes at the precedent properties range from studios to three-bedroom units on either one level or multi-level for the stacked type units.
Below are comparison of artist lofts at several properties per unit type:
