This review is from: Loft Design: Solutions for Creating a Livable Space (Hardcover)
katherine stone's book on loft design is one of my favorites. if you have an open loft type space and need help laying it out - this book is both extremely practical and as well as inspiring. katherine walks you through every choice you will face and gives you the pros and cons of each decision. this book is very oriented towards creating your own dream floor plan and to that end she gives you starting measurements for literally every possible room, appliance, closet etc. the book is very well organized and the pictures are great. i showed this book to my architect and he bought himself a copy. not a bad recommendation!
