The Loft style flat idea originated from New York as early as 1950’s when the artist and 'freedom lovers' started renting commercial buildings for very low rent. Starting as workshops, their usability expanded very quickly into the living spaces, galleries and party flats.
The most famous loft was probably 'the Factory' – Andy Warhol's studio which evolved into the greatest party place in the ’60s.
