Lofts, by definition, are former commercial spaces that have been
converted for residential use and living/work environments. But lofts,
by design, are vast silent expanses, soaring arches, stalwart steel
girders, massive beams, and all the powerful drama of a curtain-time
stage set. Lofts are a designer's dream. The importance of urban loft
design for the architectural and design world is highlighted in this
collection of the finest, most dramatic of these transformed spaces.
Lofts: New Designs for Urban Living takes you on an intimate tour of
residential lofts in the major cities of the world including New York,
Los Angeles, Sydney, London, Toronto, Paris, and Tokyo. Projects include
work from cutting-edge designers: Roto, Fred Fisher, Peter Anders, Neil
Frankel, Briggs/Iacucci, Peter Tow, Kar Ho, Moneo/Brock, Belmont
Freeman, Lotek, Brayton & Hughes and more. Complete with informative
text, Lofts features full-color photographs, plans, and a valuable
resource guide for anyone who has every dreamed of converting a
commercial building into a residential loft.
