Urban land is an increasingly precious commodity, particularly in the centre of major cities. Every spare corner of land is in demand, however small, inaccessible or awkwardly shaped. For architects the challenge is to optimize these sites while simultaneously negotiating the web of planning regulations, to create homes suited to today’s lifestyles. Infill profiles 39 innovative and imaginative urban dwellings around the world that fill in gaps left by demolition, or that have been squeezed into plots previously considered unsuitable for development. Each case study is illustrated with photographs, drawings and specially drawn site plans, all accompanied by authoritative commentary. The authors focus particularly on the challenges that each architect faced and how they were overcome.

The volume features approximately 60 exceptionally designed rooms with a special focus on the presentation and interaction of individual design elements such as wood, rock, concrete and surfaces. The book’s extensive illustrations present the individual wealth of details of each room as well as its overall impact, inspiring and stimulating the reader. The concept of utilized materials is crucially important for the esthetic design of a body or a shell. Innovative materials have had a lasting effect on interior design efforts of recent years. Interior design should appeal to all senses, i. e. act synesthetically, to create absolutely new and surprising room ambiences.

Сучасні методи проектування житлових приміщень стикаються з викликами як філософії, так і форми. Підходи, що панували в останні десятиліття, більше не витримують нових вимог і потребують інноваційного переосмислення. Потреба в новому погляді зумовлена ​​фундаментальними змінами в навколишньому середовищі, економіці та суспільстві.

Проектування з урахуванням пасивного сонячного приросту, будинки на сонячній енергії, мінімізація фізичного сліду житла, резиденції з нульовим споживанням енергії та збереження природних ресурсів ділянки – це деякі зі стратегій, які архітектори та будівельники, представлені в цій книзі, інтегрують у свої процеси мислення та дизайнерську практику.

Inspired Homes – важлива книга, написана світовим експертом у цій галузі, пропонує інформацію про сучасні концепції сталого дизайну та ілюструє їх прикладами справді видатного дизайну.
