This comprehensive 720-page hardcover showcases one hundred carefully selected homes spanning North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Each interior tells a distinct story, from industrial lofts and luxury penthouses to grand villas and modernist masterpieces, providing an authentic glimpse into how people around the world choose to live in the early 21st century.
The featured interiors represent remarkable diversity in both location and architectural style. Tour a Zurich dining room, explore a bathroom in Niigata, Japan, discover how a Miami art collector approaches wall color, and step inside a St. Petersburg apartment. Each space reflects its unique external environment, from Singapore tower block views to the idyllic Swedish archipelago landscape of rocks, pine trees, and water surrounding a family holiday home.
Many spaces occupy late 19th-century apartments in cities from Istanbul to Barcelona and Paris, where current occupants have carefully preserved and revitalized historic architecture. Others feature Modernist houses built in the International Style's revolutionary spirit, while contemporary homes showcase technical innovations designed for specific owner needs, including a riverside villa in Dresden and a house on stilts in Nagano.
The collection captures over a century of aesthetic evolution in residential design. Styles range from rustic minimalism to urbane eclecticism, united by authenticity, meticulous attention to detail, and individual expression. Featured countries include Argentina, Brazil, China, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the UK, and the USA.
Living Well | The ultimate sourcebook for stylish interiors
Successful interiors tell stories - be they of an industrial loft, a luxury penthouse, or a grand old villa. When presented together, as in this book, they tell us much more besides, providing insights into how the world of the early 21st century chooses to live. What does a Zurich dining room look like? Or a bathroom in Niigata, Japan? How might a Miami art collector paint his bungalow's walls? And what awaits you in a St. Petersburg apartment? We went inside a hundred homes around the globe and found answers that amazed, intrigued, and enchanted us.
The locations could hardly be more diverse - nor could the views. They range from the urban skyline seen from a Singapore tower block to the idyllic island landscape of rocks, pine trees, and water surrounding one family's holiday home near Stockholm. Whatever the topography, the external environment inevitably influences the ambience inside. It's with good reason, for example, that Sylvia Avontuur describes her windows overlooking Amsterdam's docklands as the most important picture in her apartment. Just as crucial to the character of an interior is the era of its architecture.
From Instanbul via Paris to Barcelona, a great many of the spaces featured are in apartments dating from the late 19th century, whose occupats-cum-curators have breathed new life into old walls. Elsewhere, we find others taking similar care of Modernist houses built in the revolutionary spirit of the International Style. And then there are the contemporary homes, with all their clever technical innovations, designed to meet the specific needs of their owners -such as the riverside villa in Dresden of the house on stilts in Nagano. But whether their shells are historic or brand-new, interiors all over the world exhibit the effects of an aesthetic evolution that has been shaping our built world for over a hundred years.
Includes interiors in Argentina, Brazil, China, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the UK, the USA, and many more countries.
Making stops in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, this edition rounds up some of today's most exceptional and inspiring interiors across six continents. From rustic minimalism to urbane eclecticism, the selection celebrates a global spectrum of styles, united by authenticity, a love of detail, and a zest for individual expression that will never go out of fashion.
