Loft type
28 buildings
Hard lofts are the real thing: former factories, warehouses, schools and churches converted into homes. Expect exposed brick, timber or concrete columns, oversized industrial windows and ceilings that often run 11 feet or higher. No two suites are quite alike, and buildings tend to be small and tightly held.
Not sure which is right for you? Read hard loft vs. soft loft.
