The Home series is devoted to interior design and decoration, and presented in a handy format. Leading architects and interior specialists provide inspirational and unique designs that are packed with impressive ideas for your own home. Apartments are designed for city lifestyles and their specifications may be more restrictive than for houses, often having less available space and a lack of natural light. They also have to offer a refuge from the aggressive world outside, with its noise and pollution. All of these factors combine to make city apartments a real design challenge and an appealing exercise in interior design: improving the circulation between the various living spaces, adapting the layout to modern lifestyles, creating views through the home and making the best possible use of the available space. Furnishing compact volumes, decorating a box that has no character, integrating different functions to create a harmonious home: this can be a tricky job for the architect and interior designer. This book presents recent projects by renowned architects and designers who have responded magnificently to these challenges. These classic and contemporary apartments and lofts, some spread over two or even three floors, have all been transformed into distinctive and impressive homes.

Small apartments with all the comforts of a larger unit or even a house - that's the dream of designers and their clients alike. Especially when the available space is scant, what is needed is inventiveness and a creative design on the part of the architect. The 20 projects presented in this book offer a whole variety of solutions: apartments in which light, proportions and color defy the impression of spatial confinement, or whose ambient is created with particular motif or an unusual material, sometimes also with a sculptural form or a special detail. The examples show how a high degree of flexibility, the possibility of using one and the same room in numerous ways, or the use of movable elements can turn the smallest of rooms into large oases for living.

БЫТЬ, A HE КАЗАТЬСЯ! Для известного московского архитектора Татьяны Смирновой любой заказ - это, прежде всего, вызов Будь то асимметричная квартира или вытянутое пространство кафе она легко перево дит недостатки любой планировки в характерные особенности. Каждая работа Та гьяны - это глубокая, живая история, где нет места слон танным, невнятным творческим ходам, И выстраивание параллелей с повествованием вовсе не случайно, поскольку все ее проекты имеют некую литературную подоплеку, завязанную наличной рефлексии поставленной задачи Однако в ее практике нет места грубым имитациям или прямому цитированию, из раза в раз Татьяна стремится обыграть любой мотив или идею по-своему, не боясь да/ке самых смелых ассоци аций. «Быть, а не казаться» - именно так звучит творческое кредо архитектора. Что не случайно, ведь любая деталь, любое примененное проектное решение всегда имеет точное обоснование со стороны автора. . . . . . . . . 0
