Top 10 Most Amazing Loft Designs We Love

The term Loft is generally used to describe an upper storey or attic in a building, in other words the space directly under the roof. A loft apartment, on the other hand, refers to a large adaptable open space, often a former industrial building or other type of space converted for residential use. This freedom in terms of design and adaptability has resulted in some very beautiful and amazing loft designs. We have selected 10 of the most impressive ones.

1.Vertical Loft.

Union Square Loft4

This beautiful urban home is located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It’s a contemporary loft created in a dilapidated residence. The project was a creation of Shift Architecture Urbanism who had to completely reinvent and renovate the space. The loft is composed of a series of spaces that have been custom-designed in order to respond to the client’s requirements.

The goal for this project was to create a vertical loft without walls, with three levels that would form a continuous space. To achieve that, the architects focused on organizing the space via an oversized closet that connects all the floors. It’s a huge storage space for the entire loft and measures 10 meters in length and 9 meters in height. This modular system replaces the middle wall and also integrates kitchen appliances, bookshelves, wardrobe and a walk-in closet. But while the overall impression is that of a contemporary décor, the loft also features a selection of preserved elements such as the brick wall and the original doors.

2.Contemporary loft apartment from an old office unit.

The loft is situated on the second floor and has a chic industrial look.The most impressive element of the design is the spiral staircase. It has a design meant to mimic the exposed brickwork that is common to most industrial buildings. It’s also one of the reasons why this space was later called “the brick loft house”.

The views can be admired from different angles thanks to the huge windows situated on three sides. The renovation and transformation focused on turning the space into an inviting home with contemporary features but, at the same time, the main concern was to enhance the industrial context and to preserve as much as possible from the existing structure.

Originally a space with a strong industrial design, the loft features tall vaulted ceiling, steel columns and an overall open feel. The architects in charge had to make lots of changes. They first decided to open up the space and to expose all the beautiful structural elements such as the brick walls and ceilings, columns, etc. After that, they gave the space a modern makeover. The kitchen was placed adjacent to the freight elevator but, since it had to natural light, the elevator doors were replaced with fire-rated glass doors. This solving the problem.
