The term loft mainly refers to two different types of rooms:

  1. An upper room or story in a building, directly under the roof, used either for storage (as in most private houses), for a specific purpose, e.g. an "organ loft" in a church, or to sleep in (sleeping loft). In this sense it is roughly synonymous with attic.

  2. A large open space in a factory, warehouse or other commercial space, or a type of residence that results from the conversion of such a room. Such spaces generally contain very high ceilings, large windows, and concrete floors and ceilings.

Building and factories have been converted in Houston but a growing number of buildings are being built specifically for loft apartments or including lofts in their floor plans.

Some of the common loft's in Houston are the historic St. Germain lofts, the prestigious Renoir lofts in River Oaks, the elegant and nostalgic Manhattan lofts near the Galleria mall, the first building in Houston specifically for lofts: the Metropolis also located in the River Oaks area.
