"lofts represent a kind of twilight world. they are a part of the house but no one lives in them. they solve the problem of what to do in future with things from the past: equipment that no longer works; furniture that is no longer modern; gadgets one keeps without knowing why or for whom. the organizing principle behind a loft is a sense of simply not being able to let things go. one day you'll go up there to find something you didn't even know you were looking for, and you'll find it in the form of memories."
