urban lofts

Downtown converted spaces

Urban lofts are residential spaces converted from former industrial or commercial buildings, typically featuring high ceilings, large windows, exposed brick, ductwork, and open floor plans.

The term evokes a particular aesthetic associated with converted warehouses and factories in city centers: They renovated the old textile mill into urban lofts.

The style has become desirable enough that new construction sometimes mimics these features.
