The next generation living concept
Forget windy platforms and overcrowded trains: work from home and escape the dread commute...
Live|Work is the concept that has transformed the life of many business people. The growth of information technology has enabled many to set up businesses from home. This saves time and money, and represents a significant improvement in quality of life. Traditional houses, however, because of their layout and facilities are not ideal for business. Live|Work units are the answer. They combine comfortable living accommodation with spaces that are large enough to accommodate business, with no compromise.
If you work in a field which allows you clock on from home there can surely be nothing more alluring than the prospect of waving goodbye to the heaving crowds and the cold winter mornings. City living, boosted by government policy and dwindling land supplies, is definitely here to stay and nothing epitomises the contemporary urban experience quite like a well-designed loft carved from the interior of an imposing industrial edifice . Good news for those tempted by the prospect of a blank canvas and keen to live a more creative life unbounded by the upstairs/downstairs hierarchies of the traditional close or cul-de-sac.
Vaulted roofs, floor-to-ceiling windows and rugged industrial features - loft apartments look great, photograph beautifully and are bound up with a potent and alluring set of associations: light, space, freedom, and the vibrant cultural quarters in the heart of the inner city. All well and good, no doubt, but the vast open spaces that are mandatory in the authentic urban loft can sometimes be impractical when it comes to the rituals and routines that make up most people's daily domestic lives.
