5. Origin In the 1940s, LOFT, a lifestyle, first appeared in new york, USA.

6. At that time, artists and designers used abandoned industrial factories to separate various spaces such as living, working, socializing, entertainment and collection. In the huge factory, they construct various lifestyles, create performance art, or hold exhibitions, and enjoy life to the fullest.

7. Later, these factories became the most personalized, avant-garde and popular places for young people.

In the late 20th century, LOFT, the art of perfect collision between industrialization and post-modernism, gradually evolved into a fashionable way of life and work, and spread widely all over the world.

9. LOFT nowadays is always compared with artists, avant-garde, pioneers, 798 and other words.

14, LOFT symbolizes the life and creation of avant-garde art and artists. It challenges the traditional concept of living such as garden houses and the concept of working and living zoning in modern cities. Work and residence do not need to be separated, but can take place in the same big space, and the factory building and residence overlap partially.

15, LOFT lifestyle allows residents to feel uninhibited freedom when they are in the countryside even if they are in a bustling city.

16, the classic LOFT(SOHO area) is all old buildings, and the architectural style is almost the same: generous and heavy geometry, red brick exterior wall, old fire escape, black and old water tower ... It used to be a warehouse area for hoarding textiles, so these buildings are not designed for beauty at all, and the only impression it gives is tall, spacious and solid.

17, the usual practice of (poor artists) is to design a large apartment or an empty part of a building as a work area, and then build an attic in a certain part of the space to live in, which is the prototype of LOFT.

18, the furniture may be smashed, so you have to cover the damaged place with a cloth. The cloth is made by the workshop next door, so it looks unique; The walls of the room are thick and strong, and the area is too large. Nail a few cabinets and you can put things in. There is no need to smooth all the walls with cement, just paint them ... Because these buildings didn't consider the lighting problem at the beginning of design, even if there were huge windows, there was no scenery outside the window, so the walls were painted with gorgeous colors, and they continued to use huge exaggerated and bright industrial lighting equipment after renovation.

19. In order to make a living, artists transformed the street-facing rooms on the first floor of these buildings into shops and sold their works.

They don't have extra money to decorate such a huge room, so the characteristics of this industrial building itself are fully exposed, which forms a huge visual contrast with the window and goods. This visual contradiction has produced a strange effect.

In detail, a large number of loft buildings around the world use glass and steel frame cantilever structures, which leads to the mutual penetration of internal and external landscapes. This includes not only pragmatic lighting design, but also the recognition attitude towards the similar surrounding environment, and also marks the impersonal color of the living conditions of people living in it.
