What is a Loft?
It can be many things to many people- starving artists used to sleep in their studio spaces to alleviate paying rent, but now the popluarity has expanded and is “in style”. Loft interest remains very appealling for both gallery and working space, as well as for chosen living quarters for artists, as well as many others. Usually housed in large, old buildings, lofts are refurbished living areas that offer its inhabitants spaciousness, quiet and comfort!

Are You a Loft Person?
The benefits far outweighed the negatives with a loft lifestyle.. high ceilings, brick exterior walls, large windows for natural light, wooden flooring, open plans easily customizable. Attracting varying age groups of people, lofts are intriguing to young professionals that desire convenience, and have an artistic flair. Lofts generally are located in downtown or inner city areas, where old buildings show a desire to be revitalized and have minimal residency.
