Loft

Home plans with a loft feature an upper story or attic space that often looks down onto the floors below from an open area. Similar to an attic, the major difference between a loft and attic is that the attic typically makes up an entire floor of a building, while a loft covers only a few rooms, leaving one or more sides open to the lower floor below. Lofts are great spaces for home offices, computer desks, children’s play areas or even a guest space if needed. Lofts are flexible spaces that add living space or a storage area to a house design.
