Here are some more pictures of our loft when we first disvovered it in april 2009. It is a rectangle of 2150 square feet (65 feet x 33 feet). The joiner's workshop was really in poor conditions : the floor was a plain dirt floor and the roof needed to be totaly renovated...
We came back with a construction company to have a first idea of the cost of the renovation and we have done it again with a second construction company to confirm the budget and we decided to purchased the workshop (we were still in april 2009).
We signed at the real estate agency with the condition that if we do not get the building permit from the city we could cancel the transaction (it is very important to have such a condition with that kind of project otherwise if you purchase a surface and are not allowed to make a loft conversion... you are in a very bad situation...).

Our Loft... It is the name of our blog about loft in french : Notre Loft. We began to look for a place to do a loft conversion in 2007 and at the same time we created Notre Loft in order to share our story and our passion for lofts...
It tooks us 2 years befor we found the right place. In april 2009, we visited this old joiner's workshop.
And we fall in love again... To be continued...
In 2007 Jeff Wardell and Claudia Sagan purchased a 3,200-square- foot former laundry and tooth-powder factory in order to make a loft conversion. They wanted to keep the space open as much as possible (they sleeping room is the only room that is seperated from the rest of the loft). They wanted to create a home office and a guest bedroom without cluttering the space... So they decided to use two shipping containers ! What a crazy fabulous idea !

2150 square feet loft in Manhattan / Tribeca
It is not for nothing that it is said that New York is the capital of the lofts in the world. After the loft in Brooklyn, I take you to Manhattan. Specifically in the Tribeca neighborhood located between Soho and Wall Street to visit a loft of 2150 square feet rehabilitated in 1998 by the New York architectural firm Morris Sato Studio.
The interior design of the loft is a perfect blend of minimalist and contemporary style. Natural light enters through large windows in the loft with the respect of the original architecture of the building. The large windows also allow a view over the old building cross the street.

Welcome to Loft addict
We are Freg & Pépette, a french couple. In 2007 we created Notre Loft, a french Website about lofts in order to share our passion for lofts. Within three years Notre Loft has become a reference to get information about lofts in France and now we want to share our passion and promote loft living towards people from all over the world so we decided to create Loft addict.
