Tout ouvrage sur les lofts se doit de réserver une place de choix aux artistes : ils furent les premiers à comprendre l'intérêt de convertir en ateliers et en résidences des locaux à vocation industrielle. L'exemple d'Andy Warhol et de sa factory est certainement le plus célèbre. Aujourd'hui encore, de nombreux créateurs citadins ont eux aussi choisi de travailler et de vivre dans ces grands espaces. Le loft continue de séduire peintres, photographes, architectes... mais également de nouveaux professionnels de la création, tels les designers et les publicitaires. Il leur permet de conjuguer astucieusement activité artistique et vie privée. Il offre un espace de vie particulièrement adapté à tout travail à domicile, tendance de la vie moderne apparue avec l'émergence des nouveaux moyens de communication.
