Light, airy, open space, flexible planning and perfect for a multiple of uses - loft living is firmly established as the contemporary ideal. Once a minority enthusiasm of urban dwellers on the cutting edge, today the loft design is a powerful influence on homes in terms of space planning and in decoration and use of materials.
As the loft aesthetic has developed, what makes a loft has developed from a vast space, often converted from non-domestic origins, to being more to do with the fundamental qualities of planning and design, qualities that are equally applicable in more conventional surroundings.
This book presents the latest take on the loft ideal. Case studies offer insight into different spacial arrangements; comprehensive information is given on suitable finishes, materials and furnishings: everything from glass blocks and resin floors to mosaics.
A special section looks at patterns of use, and explains how to fully exploit the space at your disposal whatever your circumstances.
