Apartment

More about the book

For millions of people home is not a vast loft but a modestly proportioned apartment. This invaluable book responds to the challenges that apartments offer to create an elegant but highly practical home -- using everything from clever storage solutions to carefully chosen colors and neat window treatments. Architectural and design writer Alan Powers also celebrates the sheer charm of apartments and how they have developed as a dynamic building type over the last 150 years. Location photography by Chris Everard profiles an international range of apartments, decorated in a variety of styles -- from formal and elegant to eclectic and individual.
