A Clever Hotel Room ‘Zoku Loft’ Designed For Longer Stays

The practical and stylish Zoku Loft is a new concept hotel for business travelers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The 24 sqm (258 sq. ft.) living/working hybrid studio apartment, designed by concrete, features stylish door panels that hide the sleeping loft with a king-size bed and a retractable staircase that closes when not in use.

The designers add: “The bed always dominates in a regular hotel room or studio apartment. At Zoku Loft, a big kitchen table serves as the focal point. Use it to work across time zones, host dinner parties, or gently rest your head after meeting a deadline. You decide. Then feel free to change your mind. The same goes for swapping the art on your walls, after which you can enjoy the view from your comfy Muuto design furniture.”

The loft has space-saving features like a retractable staircase and hide-away storage areas. It includes a king-size bed, dishwasher, and commonly used home/office supplies. The first Zoku lofts are set to open in August in the eastern Canal District of Amsterdam. You can find much more information at the links below.

Pros And Cons Of Lofts:

Lofts are becoming increasingly popular for their unique and trendy living spaces. The pros of living in a loft include the open and spacious floor plan, high ceilings, and large windows that provide plenty of natural light. Lofts often have an industrial aesthetic, with exposed brick or ductwork, which some people find appealing. Also, lofts are often located in urban areas, offering convenient access to amenities and entertainment.

However, loft living does come with some cons. The open floor plan can make it difficult to create distinct living spaces, and the lack of walls can lead to noise issues. Additionally, lofts are often located in older buildings that may require more maintenance. The large windows provide natural light and lead to higher energy bills. Finally, loft living may not be suitable for those who value privacy and separation between living spaces.
