Two hundred fifteen square feet (twenty square meters) can conquer space. This book, proves it. Small Interiors is a reflection of the small living spaces inhabited by most people in today's society. In fact, winning the war of the square foot has become one of the greatest concerns of the new century, and the lack of housing with adequate space has caused a realignment of the demographic maps of cities: the young and old stay in the city centers while families flee to the suburbs in search of more amenities. |

Since its inception at the end of the 1960s, loft living has generated an entire movement dedicated to the recovery of old, industrial spaces. Today, the loft is becoming more accessible to the general public, as its original definition expands to include a variety of open-plan living spaces. With this current expansion, there is a growing diversity in the way architects treat the characteristic white walls, exposed metal, glass screens, and expansive hard floors. As Lofts DesignSource illustrates, individual expression is the key. Experimentation with distribution, color, texture, materials, and finishes can result in personalized spaces and urban sanctuaries that reflect the most individual of architectural designs. With projects ranging from New York to Paris and everywhere in between, this title provides readers with a comprehensive examination of the exciting changes taking place in today's loft environment. And with more than 600 full-color illustrations, Lofts DesignSource is sure to become an integral part of every library. |
