International Book of Lofts

Summary: Coverage of Historical and Early Loft Treatment
Review: As many readers of this title I was looking for interesting, creative, innovative use of loft space. The piece seems complete in its coverage of origin and early treatment. Lofts in several international urban settings are described and pictured. Floor plans for a representative number are presented at the conclusion. By now it has become fairly dated. Present day materials and treatments clearly be an important addition. Surely there has been great progress in the 12 years since the book was released. Secondly, "adventurous" lofts were not prevalent. A few several portrayals were bland and unexciting. However, the work seems to be one of the few available resources for those interested in the development of loft space.

Summary: Helped Start the Research of My Dream
Review: My dream is to live in a Loft. And this book helped me get started on my research. I have already labeled and marked my favorite floor plans and styles. I am currently looking for a book that contains more information about costs and maintenance of lofts. Otherwise it's a great book to get an idea of lofts, what styles you may like and the history of lofts.
