Лофт Проект Этажи

This guide to Лофт Проект Этажи in Saint Petersburg traces the old Smolninsky Bread Factory on Ligovsky Prospekt, where ovens baked bread until 2005 before the building sat empty in what locals called the rust belt. It follows architects Savely and Yegor Arkhipenko, who in 2007 turned the shell into the city's first loft-style art space, opening with a show that set British sculptor Andrew Logan's mirrored work beside the surviving bread machinery. Run your hand along a column on the way up and feel the factory still there beneath everything built around it.
