Within the confines of our age we yearn for originality and ingenuity. There seems to be a growing passion encompassing romanticism, lavish lifestyle fused with openn free movement, while invoking individual style. The "New York City Loft" unlike nost loft buildings erected in late 19th and early 20th century began as clothing factories and printing shops housed in cast-iron. While lofts functioned as arenas for abstract expressionist production the loft was also an embryo for the new era in sculpture - minimalism. In soho the loft served as a catalyst. During times of urban renewal and radical change revealed large wonderful spaces with exposed structural elements and fine american architectural detail. From minimalist as well as intricate design styles standing quiet strong prominence. Some Interiors contained high wooden or iron beamed ceilings, some with white plastered walls (grey and white interior). Raught iron curving stair cases and circular walls defining a world unsheathed and historically attractive.
Join me from Tuesday to Friday as I explore and give reviews of some of my favorite lofts.
