An apartment with two-story ceilings would be the next best thing to a vaulted European cathedral when it comes to letting in the light. Many industrial lofts offer big windows or even clear-story windows to let in as much light as possible.
If you’re looking for a loft or condo, you’ve probably come upon apartments with high ceilings. Many loft shoppers prefer high ceilings because they make the space feel more spacious visually.
Historic Lofts often have desirable features along with high ceilings. The lofts have more windows or more oversized windows. If you like to have a lot of sun in your home, primarily if you work from home, higher ceilings are optimal. You’ll have more natural light coming in.
Having a loft or condo with higher ceilings can mean you’ll have more wall space to decorate. If you like to decorate your walls with art, taller floor lamps, or chandeliers, get the area with high ceilings like you find at the Little Tokyo Lofts in DTLA
Would you want a two-story loft or settle for one with big windows? Comment
If you are looking to buy instead of rent an apartment and think you’ll resell your unit in the future, it’s a good idea to invest in high ceilings. Or perhaps a penthouse unit that also has a view or private patio. Having a loft sporting high ceilings with exposed beams increases your property’s value. #highceilinglofts #industriallofts

On one end of the unit is a large primary suite with full bath and a walk-in closet, while the other end holds a flexible space ideal for another primary suite, large office, or two additional bedrooms. This separation allows residents to create distinct spaces for home and office, and reserves the floors central area for an open living room, with a wrap-around kitchen for entertaining. To define the connection with the outside, glass walls have been designed that open onto the patios and balconies, creating distinct outdoor spaces for dining and relaxation.

The Singer Building – also known as The Singer Sewing Building – is a historic, 8-story, Beaux Arts structure on Broadway. It is currently being renovated as live/work lofts on the seven upper floors with ground-floor retail. All units feature operable floor-to-ceiling folding windows that open onto new patios. The penthouse unit features a double-height sloped ceiling retained from the original auditorium.
The original edifice was designed and built in 1922 by Meyer and Holler’s Milwaukee Bradley Building Company, best known as the designers of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. The Singer was long occupied by the Southern California Music Company, which used the building as sales space and hosted concerts in an auditorium located on the building’s top floor.
Architecture firm Omgivning is restoring the building’s front facade to its original look, with some modern touches, in accordance with the Broadway Design Guidelines.
The Singer Building’s ground-floor has been renovated to look to sparkling new, now ready for occupancy.
