City Living: Inspirational Homes in the Heart of the City
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
From Park Avenue to St. Petersburg, from the boulevards of Paris to the medinas of Morocco, metropolitan life bombards us with a million images, colors and sounds. A treasure trove of lavish photographs and inspiring text, City Living celebrates 25 outstanding homes that reflect the many different aspects of urban domestic design. The book opens with a look at traditional home s that artfully integrate old and new. Streamlined Sleek includes a range of pared-down modern dwellings, while Retro Redefined reflects the influential movement in architecture and interior design that has its roots in mid-20th-century style. The final section includes examples of industrial buildings converted into homes and of ultra-escapist living spaces based on rural themes.
