How to create a loft from a normal apartment: the secret of the concrete ceiling

Lofts are now popular as never before, and many of ourcompatriots ask themselves: what exactly needs to be done to turn a standard city apartment into a loft? The answer to this sacramental question is waiting for you in our material. Who does not like concrete ceilings, he will never understand our passion for loft spaces. Of course, they are cold and brutal, but they do not hold style, originality and spectacularity. Many of us, when undertaking repairs,the next problem is - you know exactly where the functional zones will be and what furniture you put in the rooms, and although individually everything looks pretty decent, together the interior turns out so-so. Boring. Just like others. What to do? Our advice to you - make a loft. Especially we recommend this to the owners of corner apartments. A complex space with a large number of indirect corners, broken lines and columns can serve you well in creating a space in which it will be interesting to live and receive friends. Take a look at this apartment in London. This is the most ordinary apartment with modern, extremely functional and for the most part minimalist furniture. It's as simple as that. However, the impression this interior produces is just fantastic. What is the secret? In decoration and proper zoning. The first thing that catches your eye here is,of course, the ceiling: a very unusual, structural, concrete overlap. It is it that sets the rhythm of all space and creates a strange illusion of constant movement. In support of the industrial "top" architectsThey opened the old brickwork on some walls and in some places "let down" the concrete on the walls. To put the final point in the idea, the designers modeled a huge ceiling lamp - one for the entire rather large public zone. The luminaire schematically resembles the shape of a diamond of classical cut, but at the same time it repeats the shape of the apartment itself, thus carrying out a completely obvious semantic parallel. The functional of space itself is beautiful in allrelations. The public zone is clearly located in the center of the apartment. The master bedroom is finished not only with ceilings, but also with a certain functional volume, which can be considered as a source of additional noise insulation.
