Ask OMS: What is Loggia?

Iconic Columns at Achilleion Palace, Corfu

For this week’s Ask OMS topic, we have the definition of the word loggia, which actually has two architectural related definitions.

Loggia: 1. An arcaded or colonnaded structure, open on one or more sides, sometimes with an upper story. 2. An arcaded or colonnaded porch or gallery attached to a larger structure.

As a reminder, the purpose of Ask OMS is for you to post your questions related to architecture, and then we’ll provide the answers.  Please send us your questions.  View our portfolio to see the projects OMS has completed.
