Talk:Loft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article seems highly slanted towards US-English usage of the word loft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.213.27 (talk) 11:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I think a real and therefore a real valuable 'loft' needs to adhere to three principles; 1. it must be historical, 2. it must be ex-industrial, 3. it needs to be a large place.
Furthermore, a 'floating loft' has the 4th property of residing on water.
Because of the foregoing, one cannot pretend to just go and build a loft somewhere.

Where does the word "loft" come from? I know what it means, but would like to find out it´s etymology.

[edit] Merge

Vote to merge with Attic and change Loft to a redirect. Lee M 02:03, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have added a second meaning for "loft" that is different from "attic". A merge should no longer be necessary. Lawrence Lavigne 02:30, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

Since the article has been expanded somewhat since the original stub designation was put on, I took the stub designation out. I'm not sure there is much more to say about lofts that is really essential in this article, although some details about structure and style can be mentioned, such as angled ceilings under pitched roofs.

With friends we sometimes use LOFT as an chat acronym for "lot of fun together" :) --212.65.193.94 22:27, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Check out loft apartment perhaps definition 2 sense could be merged there MPS 03:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I think that Commercial loft and Loft apartment could be merged with this article.--Larrybob 19:23, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
