Should you need more infomation on lofts, I could scan the article and place it here for example.

Статья, как я понимаю на русском? Сканировать не обязательно, лишние тебе хлопоты. Но будет здорово, если подскажешь, как их называют в статье. Неужели "лофты"?

You can make a room in the loft, but it can also be simply a place to store your stuff...

You're kidding, right?
What Russian readers will think about american quality of life, if I say that rich Americans "живут на чердаках и в сараях", and what is more, they are happy with it.

Да, статья на русском, про начало развития данной категории жилья в России. Название полностью перекочевало с английского, поэтому лофтами они и называются.
