Warehouses Become Homes

- 5/28/2009
Dallas, TX – Lynn Sugarman and Jim Nairne are transforming old warehouses into living spaces.

The couple started flipping warehouses 16 years ago. They currently reside in what used to be a 1960s warehouse. When the warehouse was renovated, an 800-foot-wide hole was punched into the building's roof. A crane hoisted a steel-framed pyramid up and over the flat roof to cover the hole. A skylight was secured and inlaid with thick panels of energy-efficient glass.

The warehouse contains a scissor lift. Nairne frequently rides the hydraulic platform 20 feet up to a ceiling hatch that pops open to the roof, offering view of the downtown skyline.
