Loft History
Besides having a wide living space, loft apartments do not only offer a roof for shelter but it brings you a lifestyle to live especially for those who dream living in a big city. Tracing back loft apartments popularity, it began making their mark in the 1950’s Soho District of New York. Landlords began thinking of having industrial buildings rented for the growing art community in the area because studios had higher rates that time. These artists started living in these lofts despite the fact that zoning laws prohibited such uses in the loft. What the artists would do was they placed pulleys and fake walls in their “studio” so to trick inspectors who are going around checking their lofts. Since then, loft apartments have been very popular in the cities.
