Still, is the allure real, or is it just an illusion created by movies and Instagram trickery? Look at the factors that contribute to the appeal of a loft party, and see if it is worth it to go to one.

Some of the best parties ever thrown were
in lofts, and anyone who has been a guest at
a loft party will agree that few other venues
can come close to such an experience. Still,
is the allure real, or is it just an illusion
created by movies and Instagram trickery?
Look at the factors that contribute to the
appeal of a loft party, and see if it is worth it
to go to one.
Getting High
The first thing that jumps out at people
when they enter a loft is the elevation of the
venue. A loft is commonly an upper storey of
a building that can range from a room on the
third floor, or an apartment, hundreds of
metres above street level.
Most lofts have high and wide windows that
emphasise just how high up from the ground
everyone is standing. The point of the
elevation is that it contributes to the feeling
of exclusivity in the party. Humans have
always had a fascination with high places,
because they represent goals and status
ordinary people cannot attain.
Mount Olympus in Greece, Mount Meru in
India, and Mount Koya-san in Japan were all
seats of the gods in their respective
religions. Climbing these peaks required the
blessing of the gods themselves, and was a
great honour. Psychologically, humans still
respond to that basic idea that height equals
importance, and that’s mirrored to a lesser
extent in a high loft party.

3. No Boundaries
The second aspect that makes a loft party
memorable is its openness, or rather, the
lack of walls. The first lofts were nothing
more than storage spaces converted into
residential spaces. There was no need for
walls, dividers, or boundaries in storage,
so that is what people got when they
started moving in.
Some people see this as a disadvantage
because of the obvious absence of privacy
anywhere, but it is the perfect layout for a
party. This is because guests have the
freedom to move wherever they want.
There is no dance floor or drinking tables,
because the entire venue serves every
possible function simultaneously. That
kind of freedom is non-existent in many
other places, but it comes so easily in a
loft party.
Exclusivity and freedom are what people
get from a loft party, and anyone who has
ever been to a VIP room before knows
that it is a recipe for a wild and
memorable night.
