A loft is a type of living space that is typically located on the upper floor of a building and is characterized by an open floor plan and high ceilings. Lofts are often created by converting former industrial or commercial spaces into residential spaces, and they may feature exposed brick walls, large windows, and other industrial-style elements. Lofts may be used for a variety of purposes, such as living quarters, studio spaces, or offices. They may be rented or owned, and are often popular with artists, young professionals, and urban dwellers due to their unique design and location in city centers. Lofts may come in different sizes and layouts, and may feature amenities such as shared common areas, fitness centers, and on-site laundry facilities. Some lofts may also have additional features, such as balconies or outdoor spaces.
