Turning an unassuming house into a desirable home requires creative vision and skillful execution but not a huge budget.

Discover the art of transforming old architecture into a haven of comfort and style. This is your guide to upgrading your home without breaking the bank, as it offers a carefully curated selection of projects that showcase the best renovations, rebuilds, and extensions from private residences across the globe.

At the heart of Upgrade Your House is the philosophy of sustainability, which shows how a creative vision and skillful execution can transform a preexisting structure into a dream home. With a focus on inspiring practical solutions, this book reveals how changes to floor plans, modern extensions, or cleverly executed refurbishments can unleash the full potential of any house to become a desirable residence.

Whether you're an architect, designer, or homeowner, the captivating imagery and floor plans, make Upgrade Your House an indispensable reference.

Adding. Extending. Transforming. Upgrade breathes new life in forgotten architecture

Upgrade explores architectural and design concepts that seek to enhance and repurpose our surroundings. From slight changes to complete renovations, the spectrum of possibilities is vast. Extensions upon a rooftop. Factories turned into relaxing retreats. Wood additions contrast with antique brick exteriors. Through engaging anecdotes and inspiriting images, Upgrade provides vibrant exemplars and enthusiasm for revamping existing spaces.

Repurposing the unused; a dilapidated barn, a raddled townhome, a historical and fading building façade – these can all be starting points for stunning and inspiring homes. Upgrade displays transformations: be it sheds into playrooms, a garage to a guesthouse, or an alpine hut into a holiday getaway. Hidden in the walls of old structures are possibilities and inspirations that can be realized with any budget; charm and character become the criteria for titivating a residence.

Upgrade offers projects that succeed in finding the balance between the traditional and the modern. Architects share their experiences, motivations, and approaches. Before-and-after photos illustrate the metamorphoses. This is a volume for all who desire a new perspective, for those that prefer to preserve rather than to demolish. What are ruins to some become another’s architectural playground.

Venice of a thousand reflections; Venice of mirror and glass, of silk and gold; Venice of light and lace, of transparency and porcelain.

With her expert knowledge and insight, Servane Giol takes us to the heart of the Venetian art de vivre, a warm and private invitation to meet some of the most creative people living in the city today. Accompanying us into historic private palazzi as well as more recently restored houses and apartments, she introduces us to a new generation of artists and designers who are attracted by the radiant beauty, energy, and lifestyle of the Serenissima — a charmed circle of talented friends who are bringing a fresh dynamism and elegance to the city, shining a new light on some of its rarest and most exquisite traditional crafts, and lovingly safeguarding them for future generations.

This love letter to the hidden beauties of Venice and to the skills for which the city is famed is brilliantly complemented by the photography of Mattia Aquila. It offers both a revelation and an everlasting memory for all those who will never forget their dazzling first sight of the domes, the campaniles, and the shimmering golden silence of this legendary city that floats between sea and sky.

This volume recounts the centuries-long history of Villa Balbiano, a magnificent architectural masterpiece meticulously restored by Jacques Garcia.

From its prominent position on Lake Como, Villa Balbiano radiates a majestic charm emblematic of the most splendid chapter in the history of great villas in the idyllic Italian region. Each successive owner brought new splendor to the villa through additions, new frescoes and statues, and increasingly extensive and sumptuous gardens. The villa’s history reached an acme at the end of the eighteenth century, when the enlightened Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini, as master of the house, transformed Villa Balbiano into a crucible of philosophy and art, framed within the villa’s archetypical Roman lines.

Today, esteemed interior architect Jacques Garcia has undertaken painstaking restoration work that combines a stunning array of precious materials and a world-class collection of paintings and antique furnishings set against the backdrop of the original design that had been obscured over the centuries. The glorious new restoration inaugurates a new season in the life of the villa in one of the world’s most glamorous locations.

___________

Nestled in the shadow of the Alps in Italy’s Lakes District, Villa Balbiano has always represented an absolute ideal of fine living.

This romantic sixteenth-century architectural masterpiece is located on Lake Como, one of the world’s most glamorous locations and a place of culture and delight for more than two thousand years. After an exceptional restoration project led by the internationally renowned decorator Jacques Garcia, Villa Balbiano and its gardens are more vibrant than ever.

A stunning collection of photographs celebrating the excellence of the Italian Renaissance period through palaces and gardens built between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

The book illustrates nine locations of extraordinary artistic and architectural interest, conceived by prominent Italian families and dynasties as urban villas or country houses centered around the pursuit of entertainment and leisure. These lavishly decorated and frescoed palaces are adorned with handcrafted furniture and works of art and surrounded by gardens that retain their original layout to this day -- a very rare feature.

An historical text introduces each property, giving an overview of its origins. The villas have been specially photographed for this book by Dario Fusaro, with views of both the palace interiors and their grounds, as well as the gardens, glimpses of the halls, details of the furnishings, and a focus on the frescoes, where still preserved. Explanatory text offers insights on the most interesting frescoes, such as those of Veronese at Villa Barbaro. For the first time, Fusaro also employs a drone with the purpose of capturing the architectural structure and elements of each Italian Renaissance garden, from above and as a whole.

This all-access volume is essential for fans and readers interested in Italian art, for those who love to travel through Italy in search of places of artistic interest, and for those seeking out green tourist destinations.

From Vincent Darré, a French dandy and eccentric decorator, this volume offers a fanciful look into his unique universe of artful interiors.

Known for his dynamic personality and extravagant style, Vincent Darré -- the enfant terrible of Paris's design world -- presents a debut monograph brimming with his hallmark flamboyant whimsy, unrivaled imagination, and Gallic flair. As a fixture of the city's nightlife scene and member of its exclusive artistic circles, Darré is arguably one of its most creative residents (prior to launching his decorating career, he held posts at top fashion houses) -- which comes through in his instantly recognizable interiors: think Surrealist furniture, dizzying patterns, and spirited color combinations.

Boasting over 200 vibrantly colored photographs, this exquisite tome takes readers on a journey into Darré's world of conversation-starting spaces. From his signature furnishings, such as the Grenouille nightstand, and maximalist use of prints (cue the Little Prince Bedroom), to his expert use of vivid hues, he offers an intimate glimpse into the singular, utterly enthralling universe of one of the design world's most eccentric, quirky, and celebrated members.

About the Authors:

Vincent Darré is a Paris-based artistic director and interior designer known for his maximalist interiors and Surrealist furnishings. His clientele includes Schiaparelli and Christian Louboutin, and he designed André Saraiva's Le Montana nightclub in Paris and Le Baron in New York.
Marie-France Boyer is a journalist and author specializing in lifestyle, décor, gardening, and travel. She represents The World of Interiors in Paris.

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.

About the Author:

Sophie Bush is the editor of Warehouse Home, an online and print magazine focused on warehouse living.

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
