Just an hour outside London, the stately Hartwell House ensures a peek into the grandeur of England’s former estates: each room offers original details, antique furnishings, and massive Georgian windows overlooking the property’s parkland, complete with grazing cows and a small river filled with swans.

With more than 200 original photographs of stunning interiors set against romantic English landscapes from the moors to the seaside (the book includes properties in Cornwall, Devon, York, Wiltshire, the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Norfolk, The Peak District, East Sussex, Lancashire, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland, Middle England, Lake District, and London), the book is an invaluable guide to the finest escapes in England.

So far the company has brought out more than 250 titles dedicated to certain themes (such as living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, children's rooms, antique building materials, restoration, renovation, gardens and swimming pools), plus monographs of architects and interior designers, manuals and yearbooks about timeless and contemporary architecture and interiors.

ZwD Living розпочав свою діяльність у 1968 році. Його завдання полягає в тому, щоб пов’язати дизайн із ароматом деревини, дотиком, звуками та температурою. Він гарно виглядає і, будучи натуральним, до нього приємно торкатися.Проекти ZwD виходять за рамки дизайну, призначені для візуальних і двовимірних цілей, які створені для передачі зображення, а не змісту. Вони передають відчуття захисту, яке відчуває тепло деревини. Їх форми не є абстрактними, тому що вони потребують зв’язку з реальністю, з людиною та її культурою: таким чином не лише дизайнер, але й люди можуть реально відчути дизайн.

The vast majority of architects cut their teeth designing small-scale additions to private homes. Extensions can be added to roofs, gardens and underneath buildings or can even be strapped on to the sides.

Following a brief introduction, the book is divided into chapters featuring 40 projects that extend spaces up, down, to the rear, to the side, on the roof, internally and outdoors. Each case study explains how the architects faced design challenges while at the same time meeting their clients needs. Details covered include choice of materials, planning issues, time and cost.

The book also raises issues that clients ought to consider when commissioning an architect to design an extension, from developing a brief to the finished product. At the end of the book there is practical advice for anyone thinking about extending their own property.

A landmark volume to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of arguably the most significant private residence of the twentieth century. With stunning new photography commissioned especially for this book, Fallingwater captures the much-loved masterpiece by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright following its recent restoration. Built in 1936 for Edgar and Liliane Kaufmann, Fallingwater is hailed as a twentieth-century masterpiece - a marvel of innovation and daring that appears to float over rushing falls. This volume is a major event in the story of this icon, with new authoritative texts on Fallingwater’s history, structure, restoration, and collections, including the house’s relationship to its setting and its importance to the sustainability movement; its meaning in the context of Wright’s body of work; the analysis and planning process that went into Fallingwater’s restoration and how a seemingly unsolvable problem was overcome through modern engineering. Destined to become the lasting volume on this seminal monument, the book is a tribute to genius and the long-awaited reconsideration of this masterwork.

Everyone has a different opinion about the way the ideal family home should look.
The different reports in this book reflect this variety of opinions: they range from historic country houses to recently built, distinctive homes for young families with lots of children.

The same theme keeps emerging from these very different backgrounds: the sense of conviviality, the warm welcome, the informal, timeless character that each of these family homes exudes.

These are houses that are not just there to be looked at – first and foremost, they are places where people really live: ideal environments for parents, children and guests.
In these havens, architecture and interior are never purely aesthetic, but always have a functional role, helping to make life more enjoyable for the people who live there.

Family Houses presents a compilation of examples of the emerging residential architecture, which are linked by the manner in which they propose innovative and experimental solutions. Refinement in the selection of finishes, restraint in the distribution of rooms, and pains taken in integrating these spaces into their surroundings represent just some of the skills exercised by their designers. Although each of the houses featured in this selection heads in a unique direction, stylistically speaking, they all surprise us technically and with the repertoire of sensations they provoke. In all of these houses, the architects have paid special attention to the dynamics that arise when different family members live together, and they have thus oriented their efforts towards finding a balance between designing for design's sake and making houses that are liveable.

Family Houses in the Country takes us to real homes imbued with the spirit of the families who delight in living in them.

Author Alexandra d’Arnoux and photographer Gilles de Chabaneix travel through the United States, England, Scotland, Italy and France to find remarkable houses with beautiful, comfortable interiors where decorative detail combines with family tradition to create a memorable and timeless atmosphere.

We visit a family homestead in California’s Napa Valley, a place of eternal summer. We experience the isolated but welcoming manor of Kerdaoualas on a hill in Brittany, and find that an intriguing home in the heart of Shropshire once housed a medieval abbey.

Architecture, we like to believe, is an elevated art form that shapes the world as it pleases. Four Walls and a Roof challenges this notion, presenting a candid account of what it is really like to work as an architect.

Drawing on his own tragicomic experiences in the field, Reinier de Graaf reveals the world of contemporary architecture in vivid snapshots: from suburban New York to the rubble of northern Iraq, from the corridors of wealth in London, Moscow, and Dubai to garbage-strewn wastelands that represent the demolished hopes of postwar social housing. We meet oligarchs determined to translate ambitions into concrete and steel, developers for whom architecture is mere investment, and the layers of politicians, bureaucrats, consultants, and mysterious hangers-on who lie between any architectural idea and the chance of its execution.

Four Walls and a Roof tells the story of a profession buffeted by external forces that determine — at least as much as individual inspiration — what architects design. Perhaps the most important myth debunked is success itself. To achieve anything, architects must serve the powers they strive to critique, finding themselves in a perpetual conflict of interest. Together, architects, developers, politicians, and consultants form an improvised world of contest and compromise that none alone can control.
