This book
illustrates trends in contemporary living on the basis of around
twenty projects carried out by leading architects and interior
designers.
The reports demonstrate that contemporary living nowadays calls
for more than the harmonious integration of the latest designer
furniture in a modern context.
Whether it’s a new building or a renovation project, all of these
clients, architects and interior specialists have worked to create
a fascinating mix of volumes and perspective, of light and
atmosphere, of materials, texture, shapes and colours.
These are not purely cerebral architectural bravura pieces, but
homes whose owners take great pleasure every day in the space that
has been created.
There are many different examples of this kind of contemporary
living: the modern atmosphere of a country estate with roots in
the seventeenth century; the extraordinary metamorphosis of a
distinctive long-fronted farmhouse; the serene, pure shapes of a
modern home; the minimalist power of a glass-and-brick residential
block; the perfect dimensions and colour harmony of some recently
completed flats and apartments.
