TODO:
+/- "read" the Spanish edition
++ excellent drawings of complex areas
+++ got inspired by very nice designs.
++/- very crowded designs, in general, with many different points of inspiration (++) but also much confusion (-).
++/- lofts generally not split in rooms, facilitating good design that suggests either virtual separation into areas or unified theme (continuum). Not always best inspiration for own design, which especially in houses and apartments can avoid the problems of continuum through walls (faulting a book even when its title indicates not being exactly what I'm looking for).
-/+ each loft is first briefly introduced in 2-4 paragraphs, then its main features sketched in a general floorplan or sideways layout, then depicted in landscape or detail photos.
++ lighting is well depicted.
+++ many different styles, from rustic and industrial, to classic and even rococo.
The whole book would have been nicer for starting readers like me if the content of the lofts - chairs, tables, sofas, etc. - would have been listed at the end in one comprehensive list, kinda like a recipe.
