What does loft mean?

Loft apartment actually refers to a small apartment with a building area of 20-50 square meters and a floor height of about 5 meters. Moreover, the high-rise space is rich in changes, and buyers can design it at will according to their own preferences. Generally, the lower floor is designed as living room, dining room and kitchen, and the upper floor is designed as bedroom and study. Because it can be divided into two floors, the actual use area can reach nearly twice the sales area.

Advantages of loft apartment

1, high space utilization. For home decoration, the biggest feature of loft apartment is to save space. Now there are many small loft apartments with an area of 30-50 square meters and a height of 3.6-5.2 meters. Owners can design according to their own preferences, and the actual use area can reach nearly twice the sales area.

2. Strong liquidity. Loft apartment rarely has interior wall partitions, but mostly uses steel structure and glass partitions to separate the space. There is great flexibility and fluidity between spaces with different functions.

3. Transparency. A strong sense of communication weakens the degree of privacy.

4. openness. All-round combination between units.

5. artistry. There are no other presuppositions except the bathroom and kitchen, and the householder can design the style of the house at will according to his own preferences, and divide the sub-spaces with different functions.

Disadvantages of attic apartment

1, limited by height. The practical area of the house is large, but the height is easy to shrink. Now, the clear height of some attic houses is less than 5 meters. After being divided into two layers, there may be a phenomenon that the height of a single layer is insufficient. Therefore, loft apartment is obviously limited by the height of the floor. For small huxing, if the height is less than 3.6-5.2 meters, the loft style will be crowded and cramped, although the space utilization rate will be improved.

2, the life of the elderly is inconvenient. Loft apartments are generally two floors up and down. This design feature caters to young people who pursue fashion, but there are many risks for the elderly. The stairs connecting the upper and lower floors are mostly steep, so for the elderly whose mobility is getting worse, going up and down the stairs is prone to accidents.

3. The sound insulation effect is poor. The mezzanine of loft apartment is basically steel floor. Although the dynamic and static partitions are obvious, the sound insulation effect is not very good.
