Product Description

Living Big In Small Apartments reveals how to maximize living space in increasingly small and expensive apartments that are being built in cities around the world. Particular emphasis is placed on design solutions that allow for multifunctional uses within these small spaces: a dining area by night, an office by day; living rooms that morph into party spaces or media rooms; free-standing closets that conceal everything from kitchens, to beds to work stations. The projects will be selected for their excellence in design, innovative use of materials and methods of construction. Each house comprises a case study that includes interior and exterior photography by some of the finest architectural photographers working today; Living Big in Small Apartments will include approximately 15-20 small apartments and lofts from New York, San Fransisco, Boston, and other major US cities where residential square footages is at a premium. Architects whose work will be featured include Stephen Alton, SA Architects, David Hotson Architects, and Gary Schoemaker Architects.
