I'm In A New York State Of Mind - Lofts


 Emblematic of the urban cool style and of the artistic bohemian culture, the word "loft" that used to be a synonymous with "attic", in the late 70s began to be associated to industrial buildings and their upper floors. When we began building our house we seriously considered turning it into a loft - no walls, open wooden floors, high ceiling, more space, flexibility, with a beautiful combination of modern, traditional and industrial and the right furniture and accessories that would make the atmosphere feel inviting and pleasant. Forget it! I had neither the nerve, let alone the necessary money for such an ambitious project. Nevertheless I haven't stopped dreaming about it, because so far, we aren't charged anything from dreaming and in my daydreaming I'm often in a New York state of mind!


Emblemática do estilo urbano cool e da cultura boémia artística, a palavra "loft", que costumava ser um sinónimo de "sótão", no final dos anos 70 começou a ser associada a edifícios industriais e aos seus andares superiores. Quando começámos a construir a nossa casa, considerámos seriamente  transformá-la num loft - sem paredes,  chão em aberto de madeira, tetos altos, mais espaço, flexibilidade, com uma bela combinação de moderno, tradicional e industrial, mobiliário e acessórios adequados que tornariam a atmosfera convidativa e agradável. Esqueçam! Eu não tinha nem a coragem, e muito menos o dinheiro necessário para um projeto tão ambicioso. No entanto, não deixei de sonhar com isso, porque até agora, ainda não nos cobram nada pelos sonhos e, nos meus devaneios, estou muitas vezes num estado de espírito nova iorquino!

  12. Não sou fão do loft total, mas gosto muito muito de salas assim, abertas e com grandes janelões, e com escadarias para o andar superior com um varandim a fazer de biblioteca e zona de leitura, e até escritorio... mas depois os quartinhos resguardados, que eu sou pessoa para ter de dormir num caixão, escuridão total!!
