Presents more than 150 projects from all over the world, by well-known architects and designers. This book features more than 2,000 colour photographs that provide insight into the extraordinary way of living, letting readers share in the experience of living and working in a loft.
This title is a grand tour of the lofts of the world in which the definition of the word, in all its variety, is demonstrated by means of illustrated examples. A loft is more than just a large, all-purpose space, since it can fulfill many different functions of a room; it can serve as private living space, as an office, or as an exhibition gallery. Or a loft can contain overlapping space for work and private life in equal measure. Lofts experience a special configuration. Once warehouses and storerooms, most have been converted in recent decades to meet the individual needs of their inhabitants.
