Visualize an exciting, flexible space with room to party or to contemplate. The loft is the ultimate in modern living; functional, elegant and versatile enough to carry off any design idea you can envision. With the diverse group featured here, the author has found the most innovative and attractive of loft designs, dissected the architect's skills and intentions, and interviewed the tenants of the flats about what they love, and even what they find difficult about their spaces. From Glasgow to Melbourne, in urban and rural areas, the interiors are presented in photographs, with special focus on the distinctive features of each design.
