Technically, the term loft refers to one of the nonpartitioned upper floors of a warehouse or business building. Today the term is applied more broadly to any kind of factory space or warehouse - in fact, to recycled buildings of any size, shape, and structure, such as supermarkets, garages, and railway stations - and is certainly not restricted to upper floors.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture d'habitation
CONT

Les lofts sont généralement d'anciens entrepôts ou manufactures qui ont été transformés en résidences particulières. En général, ces espaces n'ont aucune cloison. Le mot loft peut maintenant s'étendre à toute autre façon analogue de rendre de grands espaces habitables.
