On discovering a garage, a workshop or an old warehouse in which to live and very often to work and be creative, artists and professionals or less conventional spirits found their own space, open and bare, which they adapted to their personal needs. Today we no longer have to look for a loft --it comes to us.
Many newly built homes are projected as open spaces with
insinuated divisions for communal areas, although the private areas are still
physically divided. The need for independence and privacy in family or shared
homes make
s it difficult to establish absolute continuity. Through the work
of some of the world's most prestigious architects, this book shows diverse
examples of how the concept of the loft has been installed in our perception
as a place to live.
