It is a collection that will be valued for years to come, essential to anyone looking to add comfort and usability to the small spaces in their home.

A more flexible lifestyle, increasing rents an a greater number of single-person homes have all meant that apartments, especially in big cities, have been reduced to a single room. This does not necessarily have to be a disadvantage however. The use of space can be optimised with an intelligent design; minimalist amenities, made-to-measure furniture and predominantly light colours are three basic ingredients of any studio flat, where the premise is to do without all that is superfluous. This book presents 21 projects of spacesaving, contemporary and urban design to show, how trendy and functional a room can be furnished.

As a filter that smoothly merges interior and exterior, terraces have become one of the most important complemantary spaces in today's contemporary house. Whether cantilevered, open or covered, as a wide extension of the ground floor or as roof gardens in residential buildings, terraces maximise the sense of space by partially seizing outdoor areas. This book is a showcase of the multiple design possibilities offered by these privileged spaces; an entertaining, social and contemplative place that improves the quality of life in every home.

These exceptional houses - distinguished by their classical style and artistic integrity - represent the highest level of design and craftsmanship, fashioned for historic taste.

A return to classicism and traditional styles has been widely observed in the world of architecture and design, and the houses in this volume represent the finest examples of new design based on historical precedents. These stunning residences are graced with regional character, impeccable craftsmanship, and classic beauty.

Collaborating with leading landscape designers, decorators, and artisans, architects Mark Ferguson and Oscar Shamamian have produced homes that - whether country estates, suburban houses, or city apartments - are exquisite examples of timeless design for those who are inspired by historic styles.

With lush photography capturing the allure of these of exteriors, interiors, and details - as well as original drawings and plans - the book will appeal to architects, interior designers, and homeowners with an eye for fine design and anyone wishing to be inspired by the poetry of history.

Who made New York the centre of the chic and urbane interior - a city where Andy Warhol entertained in a French Empire salon and Babe Paley served martinis and cigarettes in her taxicab yellow living room? The answer is discovered in the illustrated profiles of nearly 100 interior designers in the two-volumes of "New York Interior Design, 1935-1985", which introduces the Acanthus Press Visual Library. Over 600 photographs, assembled by author Judith Gura, present a visual biography of the city's interior innovators. From the refreshed Francophilia of Eleanor McMillen Brown to the high-tech minimalism of Ward Bennett, volume 1: "Inventors of Tradition" and volume 2: "Masters of Modernism", unfold a glittering panorama of New York's old world duplexes and river and park-view towers.In addition to the work of celebrated tastemakers - Mario Buatta, Billy Baldwin, and Melvin Dwork - Gura uncovers the interiors of once-influential, now-obscure designers whose work played an important role in the development of the New York look. Among these tastemakers are William Pahlmann, the pioneer of contemporary eclecticism in the 1940s; Emily Malino, a 1950s modernist with a soft touch; and the incomparable Barbara d'Arcy, whose trendsetting model rooms for Bloomingdale's electrified the 1960s and the 1970s. Acanthus Press Visual Library presents worlds of culture and design through images.

New York City has always been home to the chic and urbane a place where Andy Warhol entertained in his French Empire salon and where Babe Paley served martinis and cigarettes in her taxicab-yellow living room. Who made this city the center of cosmopolitan interior design as we know it today? The answer is found in the lavishly illustrated profiles of the nearly 100 interior designers featured in the two-volumes of New York Interior Design 1935 1985.

Over 600 photographs assembled by author Judith Gura present a visual biography of the city s interior innovators. From the refreshed Francophilia of Eleanor McMillen Brown to the high-tech minimalism of Ward Bennett, New York Interior Design unfolds a glittering panorama of New York s old world duplexes, river and park-view towers, and its minimalist downtown lofts.

Volume I, Inventors of Tradition, highlights the careers and showcases the work of the designers who translated and then transformed European period styles into a new vocabulary for America. In addition to the work of celebrated tastemakers Billy Baldwin, Mario Buatta, and Albert Hadley Gura uncovers the interiors of once-influential, now-obscure designers whose work played an important role in the development of the New York look. Among these practitioners are William Pahlmann, the pioneer of contemporary eclecticism; the glamorous Melanie Kahane, with a fondness for shocking pink and tasteful pizzaz; and the epitome of the southern civility, Joseph Braswell, who believed that a beautiful environment could make its occupants into better people.

Inventors of Tradition is accompanied by Volume II, New York Interior Design, 1935-1985: Masters of Modernism, which examines the work of the designers who moved away from European tradition, incorporated new materials and cutting-edge technologies, and pioneered the architectural approach to interior decorating.

It's a classic thing we've all heard: "New York is great to visit, but I wouldn`t want to live there." New Yorkers laugh it off because they know the secret: it's even better when you live there. New York Interiors offers readers the chance to see the Big Apple`s most fabulous pads in all their eccentric splendor. The Hell's Angel who sleeps next to a coffin, the painter who makes art from trash, the woman who's brought Provence to Downtown, the couple who live in the Brooklyn of the 19th century - "typical" New Yorkers` homes are presented alongside those of its glitterati (such as Leo Castelli, Wolfgang Joop, Isabella Rossellini and Steven Spielberg). With beautiful photographs of over 40 homes in and around New York City, this book is bound to convince the nay-sayers that New York really is the place to be - and live.

From midtown Manhattan to the Hudson Valley, discover the most unique interiors that the Big Apple and its environs have to offer.

    A favorite haunt of designers, artists, artisans, decorators, and architects from around the globe — as well as all those who delight in creatively embellishing their home — New York never ceases to enchant us with its wealth of exceptional interior spaces. The harmonious coexistence of traditional and avant-garde, chic and bohemian, imposing and intimate — both in and out of doors — defines the city’s unique style. A luxury apartment with magnificent paneling hung with old master paintings; a glassed-in eagles’ nest perched atop an art deco skyscraper; or a delightful brownstone with a private garden worthy of a picturesque country village — this multifarious city captivates and seduces its visitors.
   Offering exclusive access into seventeen homes of prominent New Yorkers, this book showcases the often colorful and audacious, but always fashionable and sophisticated interiors of New York’s best style-setters.
   Barbara and René Stoeltie take readers on a personalized journey through New York, from antiques expert Louis Bofferding’s elegant Manhattan apartment, to architect James Joseph and composer Scott Frankel’s meticulously restored bucolic haven on the outskirts of the city, via the dizzying heights of decorator John Saladino’s exquisite apartment in the Olympic Tower, a Fifth Avenue skyscraper.
   Lavishly illustrated, this volume presents an array of New York residences that perfectly reflect the diversity and eclecticism of  the city’s inhabitants and provide endless inspiration for contemporary interiors.

  Barbara and René stoeltie, writer and photographer respectively, have collaborated on over forty art, lifestyle, and interiors books since 1984, including Parisian Interiors: Bold, Elegant, Refined (Flammarion, 2011).
They have also published articles in prestigious magazines, such as The World of Interiors, AD, Vogue, Elle, House and Garden, House Beautiful, Maison Française, Résidence, and Mezzonin.

Beginning with archive images of the Big Apple over the past century and blooming with gorgeous photos of the city's most beautiful and unique interiors, this book explores the real New York inside and out. From high-rise luxury condos with stunning views to industrial lofts, art collectors' pads, and eccentric, funky apartments, the interiors featured here - in colorful full-page photos - are as amazing and diverse as New Yorkers themselves.

Еще сто лет назад любой разговор о нью-йоркском стиле перенес бы нас на другую сторону Атлантики. Тогда этот стиль был смесью европейского импорта, зданий с "итальянскими" фасадами и украшений интерьера, привезенных гружеными кораблями из Венеции и Флоренции, Брюсселя и Парижа. Но в XX веке Нью-Йорк из подражателя превратился в законодателя мировой моды. Небоскребы, главный нью-йоркский бренд, изменив очертания Манхеттена, сделали очевидным, что в современном городе архитектурная составляющая должна быть более зрелищной, чем природная. К огромным фабрикам с пафосными фасадами, делающими их похожими на дворцы индустрии, стали прилегать перегруженные производством и трафиком улицы.

This is a book of houses where we all would like to live. The locations are diverse - New England, Long Island, Pennsylvania, California - and the architecture encompasses both traditional and contemporary vocabulary. What links them is their livable scale and the architect’s commitment to creating congenial spaces with a handsome and functional design. They are unassuming dwellings whose architecture moves easily to the background, supporting comfortable furniture, works of art from a variety of periods and styles, and the plantings and outdoor spaces that are essential to the composition.

These houses display grace and style inside and out. They invite a full range of activities from formal to informal, from celebration to repose, from a solitary existence to a house full of children or guests. These houses have good places to read a book or write a letter, to take a nap, and to cook and eat with family and friends.
