This collection demonstrates the immense variety of lofts in a wide range of buildings from all over the world. They have been converted with great ingenuity and imagination by a new breed of urban dwellers who have embraced the loft living idyll. Enthusiastically eclectic, importing ideas gathered from travel or reading, and using furniture from modern emporiums of design or found in junk shops, these loft dwellers have left the essential character and texture of their buildings intact while layering space in subtle ways so that volumetric grandeur is not lost. This tour gives the reader a glimpse of the inventiveness, vigor and pride employed in creating spectacular dwellings out of amorphous spaces.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Loft Reference Book,
By JP (Prague, Czech Republic) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Loft Bible (Hardcover)
Very happy with this book - very large pictures, no boring text, lots of examples of Lofts. Inspiration for anyone interested in loft design. Book is very large and heavy, arrived slightly bent in the corners due to rough handling in shipping.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Very dated,

This review is from: Loft Bible (Hardcover)
This book is full of designer or architect views of 80's lofts.
I often thought of James Bond villans. Almost every unit is ultra-linear, cold, and unlivable - sometimes appearing to be only for presentation. Most look like they are trying to be museum display spaces. For ideas on how one might decorate or organize a loft, the Lofts Design Source:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006074975X/ref=oss_product is a much better volume.
