Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception at the end of the 1960s, loft living has generated an entire movement dedicated to the recovery of old, industrial spaces. Today, the loft is becoming more accessible to the general public, as its original definition expands to include a variety of open-plan living spaces. With this current expansion, there is a growing diversity in the way architects treat the characteristic white walls, exposed metal, glass screens, and expansive hard floors. As Lofts DesignSource illustrates, individual expression is the key. Experimentation with distribution, color, texture, materials, and finishes can result in personalized spaces and urban sanctuaries that reflect the most individual of architectural designs. With projects ranging from New York to Paris and everywhere in between, this title provides readers with a comprehensive examination of the exciting changes taking place in today’s loft environment. And with more than 600 full-color illustrations, Lofts DesignSource is sure to become an integral part of every library.

Book excerpt: A part of the DesignSource series, this book presents a selection of apartments that aims to serve as a source of inspiration to both the average homeowner and architect in search of ideas on how to design or improve their own apartment space. The manipulation of light, surface area, and ceiling height, combined with an adequate choice of materials and use of colors and textures can transform a dull and inanimate space into a luminous, spacious, and attractive interior. By introducing multifunctional furnishings and layouts, apartments can also easily integrate an office or studio space, or provide all the necessary domestic functions within a very limited area. The wide variety of apartments shown here displays an ample range of design solutions that suit an extensive number of apartment types, from single-room studios to loft style residences. Featuring the work of designers and architects from around the world, the selection takes the reader on a visual journey through stunning private interiors located in the world's major cities, exhibiting the latest trends in contemporary design.

Book excerpt: Lofts, by definition, are former commercial spaces that have been converted for residential use and living/work environments. But lofts, by design, are vast silent expanses, soaring arches, stalwart steel girders, massive beams, and all the powerful drama of a curtain-time stage set. Lofts are a designer's dream. The importance of urban loft design for the architectural and design world is highlighted in this collection of the finest, most dramatic of these transformed spaces. Lofts: New Designs for Urban Living takes you on an intimate tour of residential lofts in the major cities of the world including New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, London, Toronto, Paris, and Tokyo. Projects include work from cutting-edge designers: Roto, Fred Fisher, Peter Anders, Neil Frankel, Briggs/Iacucci, Peter Tow, Kar Ho, Moneo/Brock, Belmont Freeman, Lotek, Brayton & Hughes and more. Complete with informative text, Lofts features full-color photographs, plans, and a valuable resource guide for anyone who has every dreamed of converting a commercial building into a residential loft.
