LOFT - four letters, one syllable. And a very specific phi-losophy of living. Lofts are a challenge to contemporary architecture and extravagant interior design. The basic principle is: use space unconventionally! Empty warehouses, depots, factories, or former churches - these are the playgrounds for creative people who are looking for the right atmosphere to Suit their ideas.Be it lovingly decorated or simple and cool, the history of each building is integrated in its new form: steal beams, loading bays, skylights, and huge windows add to the charm of a loft, especially when combined with warm colors and country style furniture, unusual objects or antiques.

London, Antwerp, Paris, Amsterdam, or Berlin - every- where, air and light dominate these exceptional lofts. XXLiving offers a glimpse into history and progress of a way of living in which time and space seem meaningless.
