With the diverse group of loft spaces featured here, the author has found the most innovative and attractive of loft designs, dissected the architects skills and intentions, and interviewed the tenants of the flat about what they love, and even what they find difficult about their spaces. Every breathtaking page here documents and displays practical ideas for decorating these spacious interiors—from a converted power plant in Manhattan’s Soho district to a renovated 18th century hayloft and cowshed. Each chapter presents a portrait of different lofts in cities throughout the world—all turned into glamorous dwellings. Lavish photographs and detailed floor plans of each home give vivid insight into how people have taken rough, utilitarian spaces and converted them into unique architectural statements.
