A global overview of the most contemporary and ingenious – and comfortable – former light-industrial spaces transformed into stylish modern residences.

The love of warehouse buildings – often in attractive waterside locations – has become a global phenomenon, from London to New York, from Sydney to Florence. Drawing on her own experience of living in a Grade II listed mill, Sophie Bush has amassed a wealth of knowledge, contacts and understanding about which ingredients make a building fit for contemporary habitation.

Warehouse Home is the ultimate resource for everything from how best to preserve and complement original architectural features to style ideas for adapting vintage and reclaimed pieces for modern living. The book has a practical structure, broken down into two key sections.

• 'Architectural Features' looks at how to make the most of a space while retaining its features, such as exposed brickwork, concrete floors and mezzanines. It also draws on examples of former industrial buildings across the world that have been renovated to create distinctive homes and workspaces, each selected for the originality or intelligence of its design.
• ‘Decorative Details' provides tips on how to recreate the warehouse aesthetic in any home, from repurposing pallets and breeze blocks as furniture to transforming exhaust cones into unique lighting fixtures.
• A reference section includes ideas on where to source everything from furniture to finishes.

Working with urban water presents one of the most fundamental and rewarding challenges in our cities today.

After realizing Asia is heavily in need of flood protection and improvement of water quality and urban quality, we feel delighted to present our ideas for those issues in this book. After the three editions of Waterscapes, we made a conscious decision to publish our most current work now in an English/Chinese bilingual version for Asia.

As the urbanisation process has reached an enormous speed, the consideration of clean water, blue sky and quality of life for people in dense cities has reached utmost importance. This has to be seen also in the light of harsh competition between cities and their abilities to attract investment and talent.

The Baltic Sea has gained rapidly in importance as a travel destination in recent years. More and more people appreciate the diversity found among urban designer hubs, sleepy and cozy villages, and ever-changing coastal strips. The new volume in the series on design retreats shows destinations away from mass tourism with a focus around the Great Belt.

Both an architectural and a travel guide, this volume offers inspiration and promises to fulfill the longing for peace, solitude and variety – for holidays spent at a farmstead on the dyke, above the sea on a crane, or in a fancy loft in Copenhagen. The common denominators among all accommodations presented here are a convincing design and a special location by the Baltic Sea.

The "Where Architects Stay"- Series heads towards the Water: Stylish vacation accommodations in the Baltic Sea region where architects would stay themselves when traveling.

- Kaj Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark (Karl Smith-Meyer)
- Captain's House in Wieck a. Darß, Germany (Eva Feß-Hollenbach)
- House Birkedal on Møn, Denmark (Jan Henrik Jansen)
- Åhus Gästgivaregård, Sweden (Lena Nyholm)
- Smucke Steed in Glücksburg, Germany (Johanna Putensen)

It bodes well when architecture meets vacation. It is a combination that promises relaxation and pleasure, inspiration and style, all in one.

Every one of the more than 60 vacation domiciles presented in this guide to architecture and accommodation is a unique jewel that meets, perhaps even exceeds, the high esthetic expectations of the travelling architect. A brief encounter with any one of these will make the heart of every design enthusiast beat a little faster.

Each of these very special lodgings is distinguished by the highest stylistic quality, personal touches, originality and passion for detail: Whether minimalist, experimental, posh or lavish; whether newly built or refurbished; whether houseboat, luxury loft or treehouse; whether one-time church, vineyard, mill or pump room; whether located in the trendiest metropolis, high in the mountains or on a remote coastline; whether holiday home, resort, glamping or bed and breakfast...

A tree that sheds poison daggers; a glinting red seed that stops the heart; a shrub that causes paralysis; a climbing plant that strangles; and a leaf that triggered a war. Bestselling author Amy Stewart takes on two hundred of Mother Nature's most appalling creations in an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate and otherwise offend. Menacing botanical illustrations render a ghastly portrait of evildoers that may be lurking in your back (or front) garden. Drawing on history, medicine, science and legend, this compendium of bloodcurdling botany will entertain, enlighten and alarm even the most intrepid gardeners and nature lovers.

I like to see the different textures of foliage all grouped together.

In the history of the decorative arts, there has never been another designer who has achieved such lasting impact. While lamenting the excesses of mass-production, he set up the firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company. Soon it was producing a range of goods, from hand-woven tapestries, carpets and printed textiles to stained glass, metalwork and furniture. What the company offered was quite simply a way of life. 

Now available in paperback, Pamela Todd’s book celebrates William Morris’s genius, presenting a thorough overview of his life and career, while setting out his guiding principles so that a modern audience can recreate the Arts & Crafts style in their own homes.

A series of case studies explores six contemporary houses – from a modern London townhouse to a traditional Arts & Crafts home in Massachusetts – that have followed and adapted Morris’s dicta, brilliantly demonstrating how the style can be applied to our environment today.

The book concludes with a comprehensive style-sourcing section, as well as a gazetteer of places to visit for inspiration.

Слідкуйте за дизайнером висхідною зіркою Саммер Торнтон у кролячу нору в країну чудес кольорів і візерунків у її першій книзі про інтер’єри.

Декоратор інтер’єру Саммер Торнтон вірить у дизайн із найдикішою відданістю: її світ — це світ нікелевих ванн, мармурових камінів, химерного текстилю, дивовижних візерунків і таємних садів. Торнтон, якого часто описують як максималіста з сучасною, свіжою чуттєвістю, вдається створювати надзвичайно вишукані, вишукані інтер’єри, які вражають легким, майже нешанобливим відчуттям химерності. У своїй першій книзі вона надихне читачів слідувати своїм творчим поривам і створювати власні правила.

Дозвольте собі захопитися мрійливими, фантастичними будинками, розташованими за темами в Країні чудес. «Безстрашний романтик» показує власний розкішний міський будинок Торнтона. «In Here Comes the Sun» — зазирніть у розкішний тропічний будинок для відпочинку, у центрі якого цитрусові. Подивіться, як вона трохи погано поведеться в «Добре бути поганою». Якщо вишуканість — це більше ваша чашка чаю, вишукані налаштування в «The New Formal» підходять для королеви. Крім того, ви можете глибоко зануритися в найяскравіші техніко-кольорові будинки, які вона коли-небудь створювала в «Супернасиченому».

Завдяки видатним фотографіям відомих фотографів, зокрема Томасу Луфу, Бйорну Валландеру, Енні Шлехтер і Мелані Асеведо, а також стилю від співавторки AD Міке тен Хаве, Wonderland — це свято особистого самовираження та безстрашної втечі від реальності.

Про автора:

Саммер Торнтон була представлена ​​в багатьох престижних виданнях, зокрема в Architectural Digest, Veranda, Elle Décor і Wall Street Journal. Нещодавно вона була включена до списку 1stDibs 50 і до списку 20 найкращих дизайнерів, на яких варто звернути увагу, за версією Sotheby’s. Її фірма зі штаб-квартирою в Чикаго працює над проектами по всій країні.

Студія Masamichi Katayama Wonderwall поєднує справді азіатський підхід до роздрібної торгівлі з глобальним поглядом, який призвів до всесвітнього успіху та впливу.

Wonderwall Case Studies — це перше всебічне дослідження роботи, процесу та мислення японського дизайнера інтер’єрів Масамічі Катаями, засновника та керівника Wonderwall, однієї з найвпливовіших фірм дизайну інтер’єрів у світі. Своєчасний випуск цього збірника не тільки відзначає плідну та глибоку роботу Катаями, але й вшановує 50-річчя дизайнера.

Підхід Wonderwall до дизайну роздрібної торгівлі «Схід зустрічається із Заходом» призвів до цілого успіху, як-от UNIQLO, флагманський магазин Diesel, і футуристичні нутрощі Intersect від Lexus. Висвітлюючи одинадцять визначних проектів у п’ятнадцятирічній історії фірми, книга представляє багату документацію про портфоліо, наповнене міжнародними проектами, захопливою співпрацею та вражаючим списком клієнтів. Візуальні есе демонструють робочу культуру Wonderwall. Поглиблений профіль, написаний куратором дизайну M+ Аріком Ченом, дає уявлення про ранні роки Катаями, освіту, ключові впливи та основні професійні досягнення. І останній розділ каталогу представляє візуальний огляд двадцяти трьох додаткових проектів агентства, підкреслюючи досягнутість і популярність Wonderwall.

Wonderwall Case Studies, відредагована та розроблена Winkreative, є цікавою та захоплюючою книгою для студентів дизайну інтер’єру, галузевих дилетантів та професіоналів, які шукають натхнення. Ніде більше унікальний підхід Катаями не був так глибоко задокументований.

«Як дуже небагато інших дизайнерів у новітній історії — такі гіганти, як Андре Путман, Широ Курамата, Етторе Сотцасс чи Філіп Старк — Катаяма визначив 1990-ті та 2000-ті роки та змінив світ дизайну інтер’єрів».
Паола Антонеллі, старший куратор відділу архітектури та дизайну Музею сучасного мистецтва
