Summary:

In the late 80s and early 90s, as technology changed the world, superfluous industrial and commercial space in may of the major cities gave birth to a new kind of residential dwelling; the scale open-plan layouts made the loft popular, particularly with artists and architects, who quickly turned these spaces into microcosms in which they could both live and work. Lofts is a stunning collection of the most innovative lofts on the planet together with full-color photographs, floor plans and explanatory texts. Most are custom designed dwellings that have a uniquely modern and artistic air but still maintain the spirit of the original building and preserve much to the original materials. Features Vaight Apartment by Circus Architects, Faggionato Apartment by John Pawson, Loft in Milan by Carlo Colombo, and more.
