In the last few decades, lofts have been an increasingly popular choice for people who enjoy living somewhere out of the ordinary.
The Book of Lofts presents some of the most spectacular and ingenious residential spaces in London, New York, Paris, Chicago, Berlin, Los Angeles and Milan. Whether in former warehouses, converted schoolhouses or suites of offices, these lofts are all singularly inventive examples of contemporary design and living.
The former commercial spaces now converted and shown here in beautiful colour illustrations include a warehouse on the Thames, a consulate in downtown Los Angeles and a printer’s near the Place de la Nation in Paris. Confronted by the challenge of dealing with acres of raw space, loft dwellers have responded by devising some of today’s most imaginative design solutions. From the rigorously avant-garde to the cosily traditional, this is an inspiring look at contemporary design for loft spaces.
