Continuing her exploration of English interiors, Ros Byam Shaw visits 14 distinctive townhouses full of charm, character and style.

In Perfect English Townhouse, Ros Byam Shaw examines the timeless English style of decoration in a variety of Georgian, Victorian and contemporary townhouses. Architecturally, these tall, narrow properties present challenges. How do you make the best of a basement kitchen with a low ceiling and limited light? Or allocate space when you live on five floors? And how do you maximize any precious outdoor space?

Perfect English Townhouse features case studies of such homes, not only in London but also in the provincial towns and cities of England. Some feel like little pockets of countryside surrounded by pavements, others have a more sophisticated, metropolitan allure; some are endearingly eccentric, others more classical. All the interiors featured are inspiring, and reflect the personalities of the people who inhabit them. These are the kinds of space that most of us are familiar with, and that many of us occupy. What is unusual is how cleverly and creatively these examples have been decorated and designed.

In Perfect French Country Ros Byam Shaw celebrates relaxed rural France at its finest, visiting timeless and beautiful French country homes that feature ancient beams and stone fireplaces, panelled rooms and attics under steeply-pitched pantiles.

In a busy modern world that seems increasingly overcrowded and monopolized by technology, the allure of the ‘good life’ is more potent than ever. As an antidote to texts and tweets, traffic jams and queues, additives and packaging, we seek out the simple and the wholesome, and long for the luxuries of space and fresh air. France can offer all these things, with its traditional farming methods, its authentic regional cuisine, and its low population density. Add to this the inimitable French sense of style and joie de vivre, and you have all the ingredients for an enviable way of life.

Perfect French Country revels in the timeless and authentic beauty of the French country home.

Итоговый результат работы архитектора не всегда зависит только от его таланта. Слишком много факторов должно совпасть, чтобы реализация была хотя бы вполовину так хороша, как проект. Однако удивительные интерьеры Бориса Уборевича-Боровского - вовсе не результат совпадения. Его стиль, выработанный за последние два десятилетия, вполне узнаваем: это чистейший, отточенный минимализм. Именно поэтому к интерьерам, созданным Уборевичем, стоит подходить с мерками не дизайна, а архитектуры внутреннего пространства: когда в доме все на своем месте, нет нужды прятать ошибки за декорациями. Многие более или менее успешно пытаются повторить его работы или сделать дизайн "под Уборевича". Казалось бы, что тут сложного - белые стены, деревянные полы? Но пока никому не удалось раскрыть секрет его успеха. Возможно, читатель этой книги сумеет приблизиться к разгадке. Нужно всего лишь, пройдя по следам Бориса Уборевича-Боровского, найти нужное соотношение между щедростью и самоограничением, роскошью и аскетизмом, тяжелейшим трудом проектировщика и свободным полетом фантазии художника. Внимательный - увидит.

This book aims to be a portfolio of ideas that showcases houses from all over the world, designed by contemporary, international architects and interior designers.

Each project uses specific materials or concepts that stand out from the rest of its design. Throughout this book, we feature houses made of concrete, stone, brick, metal, wood and lightweight or recycled materials, which have become the hallmark of the project. Sometimes this choice of material was based on the geographic region and climate: wood plus insulation are used more often in colder climates, while tile, concrete and stone are more commonly used in warmer climates. Furthermore, the illustrations are accompanied by practical interior design tips that will help readers create their own style and personality.

For many, the idea of prefab housing may bring to mind trailers and other less desirable images of home life. But this idea couldn't be more wrong! Rather, the newest trends in prefab have emerged as a great way for a design- (and cost-) conscious generation to achieve the dream of homeownership. Today, prefab houses are manufactured to the highest standards of construction and aesthetics. And with the internet, these houses can be ordered from all over the world -- affording people everywhere the opportunity to acquire an affordable home of distinction.

Prefab Modern explores the best-prefabricated houses on the market today, from all over the world along with a resource directory on how you can purchase them. Included are case studies from all over the US and around the world, from top architects and designers.
