The biggest undertaking was building a second mezzanine with an industrial steel grating bridge to connect it to the original mezzanine where the bedroom is. I wanted to maximize space in the loft and take advantage of the 20-foot ceiling, but also not close the space in and cut off the natural light coming from the existing skylights, Snider told blogTO. The hammock floor in the mezzanine was a great solution to create functional space while still allowing light to pass through the netting to the living room below. The additional 242 square feet that I added provides for a home office and reading nook, and can also double as a place for a guest to sleep.
