For those interested in creating a one-of-a-kind home in a condo or
apartment building, this book offers a voyeuristic peek at the way
people design, construct, and accessorize these often challenging
spaces. Thirty beautifully photographed projects illustrate how their
designers overcame the constraints of high-rise living to enhance the
owners' comfort. Learn how one architect brought elusive light into the
center of a condo in Washington, DC's Dupont Circle neighborhood, visit
the stair bridge in a Vermont ski condo, and observe the visual tricks
used to open a Florida penthouse to ocean views. See how designers are
raising the bar on an increasingly popular housing type, whether it is
an urban pied-a-terre or an airy condo on a California beach.
