Product Description

From Library Journal

Loft living began as an inexpensive way to gain large spaces in centrally located urban or industrial areas and eventually became an acceptable, even chic, living arrangement. Both of these books show the high end of loft living: large spaces that have been gutted of their original walls and fixtures and professionally planned by architects and interior designers. Molnar's book concentrates on New York lofts (although the latter part of the book shows lofts from around the United States and the world). The styles illustrated are modern and minimalistic. Vance's book concentrates on English lofts that almost resemble traditional homes in their design and arrangement. Both of these beautifully illustrated books will be excellent additions to professional and school collections and could be useful in urban public libraries where this style of living is available.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lofts New Designs for Urban Living, Mar 13 2000

By "dave60607" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Lofts: New Designs for Urban Living (Hardcover)

I bought this book on the strong recommendation of the other reviewers and was disappointed. I have bought 8 books on the subject of lofts and this is my least favorate. The photos are generic architect shots, the layout bland and the printing is flat and sometimes fuzzy, and just unappealing.

Check out Living in Space and the International Book of Lofts.

I have to wonder if the other reviewers are friends of the author...

(Just my opinion, your milage may vary...)

4.0 out of 5 stars Rather excellent, Mar 10 2001

By Jason Ainsworth - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Lofts: New Designs for Urban Living (Hardcover)

I have only really studied 3 loft books and this would be my second favorite.

The author looks at Manhattan lofts exclusively for one half of the book and uses the other half for projects all over the world. All in all, her selection is good in that the reader gets a fair sense of what is currently happening in the design of these spaces (lofts). You usually get about 3-4 color photos per loft, a short description and floor plan.

Overall, a great book and source of inspiration if you find yourself with an abandoned, urban space and about a million dollars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new here, Oct 25 2000

By secrethalo - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Lofts: New Designs for Urban Living (Hardcover)

The good thing about this book is that it does show pictures of lofts....that's about it. It showcased some lofts that have been pictured in other books before, and the picture quality is not always the best(at times the photographs look as though they were taken twenty years ago or with bad film). I usually read my design books but after about halfway through, I just looked at the pictures. Save your money for something else.
