industrial loft

Converted warehouse dwelling

An industrial loft is a living space converted from a former factory, warehouse, or commercial building, typically featuring high ceilings, exposed brick, large windows, and visible ductwork or beams.

The style became popular in urban areas as manufacturing moved out and artists moved in: They converted an old textile mill into industrial lofts.

The term now also describes new construction mimicking these features.
