Hello,

I found this entry while perusing your RSS feed for entries on Lofts. Did anything ever come of this idea? I would be interested in writing for such a niche blog!

I just moved into an Oakland loft in November, and I mostly work from home, so it is also my main workplace. My design firm is also shooting to take over a live/work loft in Potrero Hill, SF as our main office. So I have definitely been scouring the web for resources!

I just remembered that we had a project during the first year of college where we had to roughly work on the interior design of a loft. Teacher added some contraints like it had to have a master’s bedroom and a guest room, and a balcony. However, it was high enough that we could add a second floor or a mezzanine.

Anyway, I remembered that while updating my website http://longzero.com/portfolio/index.php?design=interior

Hi Kristiina, care to share any pictures? It could make for a fun blog post over here!

Thanks!

I work in a loft that is a home and office. Why the space works is because it was not done as a typical loft. It is cozy and interesting apartment that respects the architecture without being the standard ultra suede sectional and metal coffee table.

Thanks Long!

Hey bloggers, are any of you loft aficionados? Perhaps we’ve found a hole in the design blog world, and there area all kinds of lame puns I can’t seem to stop saying like “Lofty Aspirations” that could be an eye-rolling name for the blog. I don’t know what it is about blogging, but I cannot help using puns all the time, something I would usually never do - does anyone else have that problem?

Maybe Alex and I should start a mini blog while we do the project. I think we are going to be knee-deep in plaster and paint for a bit, and spending a lot of time at IKEA. It would be fun if we could get other loft dwellers to participate. Anyone interested? This is me, on vacation at the moment, getting unrealistically ambitious about my time management skills

Online resources on lofts is not something common. I don’t know any of them, that’s if there are any out there.

Although, I have studied architectural design and I can offer you or Alex my help if you guys want it.
