The ultimate resource for modern apartment design and renovation,
featuring hundreds of creative ideas from around the world, curated by
the author of Open Concept Houses and the 150 Best design series.
With the explosion in popularity of urban living, more people are
trading houses for high-rises. But these sophisticated urbanites don't
want to sacrifice the expansive feel that a house affords. The answer is
open concept apartments. By eliminating doorways and walls, open concept
design blends separate areas for cooking, eating, and entertaining into
one breezy, bright, large, unconstructed space. Special touches--from
furniture to lighting to accessories--can be used to subtly define each
area, creating a sense of expansiveness and intimacy.
Open Concept Apartments brings together a number of examples from all
over the world--from New York to Sydney, Chicago to Rio de Janeiro,
Santa Monica to Tel Aviv--that magnificently illustrate this popular
design trend. Showcasing the vision and brilliance of distinguished
international architects and designers, each of these
apartments--including both original constructions and renovations--have
been created using practical and functional solutions that suit the
needs and tastes of their individual clients.
Packed with more than five-hundred pages filled with gorgeous and
inspiring before-and-after color photographs, as well as handy floor
plans, Open Concept Apartments is an essential resource for architects
and interior designers and an inspirational guide for every apartment
dweller.
