The Loft
A 1960s Austrian housewife is forced to review her past when pages from old diaries begin to arrive mysteriously in the letter box at her family home. Each day after the windows are cleaned and the baking is done, she forces herself to read and burn the evidence of her troubled youth. Marlen Haushofer is most famous for The Wall, her only novel to have been translated into English before now. She won numerous awards in her life time, including the Grand Austrian State Prize for literature. Although nearly forgotten after her death in 1970, it has since become a feminist classic.
Lofts of London
A stunning series of what will be seven books on the lofts of Northern, Central and Southern European cities. Diversity is the thread running throughout the series: the reader is treated to an immense variety of lofts in a wide range of buildings. They have been converted with great ingenuity and imagination by a new breed of urban dwellers who have embraced the loft-living idyll. Enthusiastically eclectic, importing ideas gathered from travel or reading and using furniture from modern emporiums of design or found in junk shops, these loft dwellers have left the essential character and texture of their buildings intact while layering space in subtle ways so that volumetric grandeur is not lost. This tour gives the reader a glimpse of the inventiveness, vigor and pride employed in creating spectacular dwellings out of amorphous spaces. Beautiful photographs dominate, and the text is deliberately kept to a minimum. Those with a passion for achitecture will be in their element.
Loft Conversions
Domestic loft conversions have gained enormously in popularity as a way of providing more space without the substantial cost of moving house.

This book provides a technical manual for construction practitioners, as well as the self-build market on the technical, design and regulatory aspects of loft conversions for dwellings.
