the attic was arranged as a loft


Explanation:
Or "had been turned into a" - me no mothertongue, I'll leave this for others.

My point is to use the "trendy" word LOFT: 1a. A large, usually unpartitioned floor over a factory, warehouse, or other commercial or industrial space. b. Such a floor converted into an apartment or artist's studio. 2. An open space under a roof; an attic or garret.

I guess it goes well with the need of describing an innovative house.
