LOFT DEVELOPMENTS


Taking a step further within the scope of loft-type architectural constructions, a new trend is apparent: the rehabilitation of whole buildings that house multiple loft-type apartments and also new constructions with this end in mind. In many cases the facade already indicates a different interior from that of typical buildings apartments. Their original shapes, sizes, and exterior openness speak for themselves, and indicate unified spaces that convert the dwelling into a shared zone. In many cases, these are lofts for solely domestic use,
but buildings have also been designed in order to house different typologies that adapt to the individual needs of each owner: lofts on a single level, duplexes, or studies combined with homes in the same
space or on different levels, yet visually united.

These buildings offer a new way of dealing with house sales. Given the lack of floor space for construction within large cities, these projects enable the few available feet per apartment to have the least number
of partitions possible, thus achieving a greater sense of space and luminosity, thanks to large windows that provide abundant natural light. They are, in essence, multiple loft-inspired dwellings that share
the same structure.
