Far-flung cultures have always been a source of inspiration for the exploration-minded Old Continent. Charmed by the exoticism of those distant styles, furniture designs and objets d"art, this decorative trend still exists today. Africa, Indonesia, Morocco, China, India and South America are lands that inspire the projects included in this book. Raffia rugs, natural fibre ornaments, leathers, hand-sewn baskets, Totem figures... just some of the objects that give personality to these projects.

We consider whether a “European Style” can be defined on the basis of twenty projects from the same number of countries in Europe.
This exceptionally varied book (in two volumes) shows private residences from Denmark to Portugal, from Germany to Spain, and in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium and France.

The days of simply wanting to ‘get the look’ are over: nowadays, we are more interested in achieving a smooth-running and contented home life, and it’s not purely the aesthetics of our interiors that we’re pondering. Key to this more considered approach to homemaking is the storage of all life’s paraphernalia, from everyday essentials (kitchen equipment, bicycles) to seasonal items (skis and suitcases) and, of course, all those bits and pieces you don’t need very often but still want to hang on to (wedding photographs, grandma's china). We have more stuff than ever before, so where (and how) should we keep it all?

In 'Everything in its Place', Rebecca Winward demonstrates how our experience of every room in the house can be improved through a canny choice of storage solutions that balance form and function. She also addresses the fact that, while storage is inherently practical, it also holds huge potential for decorative impact. Examining the subject from every possible angle, Rebecca considers what to store where and what best to store it in before going on to discuss the storage demands of different items (clothes, books, crafting equipment) and even storage by style, from minimalist to vintage to rustic, to name but a few.

As good as living can get: real estate with a rare combination of outstanding location, timelessly classical architecture, and high-quality materials

Redefining comfort zones — for designers, architects, and residents who have elevated standards for their living spaces

Architectural mastery with handcrafted details, enhanced with all of today’s modern conveniences, is on full display in the elegant residences of RALF SCHMITZ’s extraordinary portfolio. Whether urban villas or townhouses, Wilhelminian style or Art Deco, glimpse refined classical architecture combined with state-of-the-art finishes as you tour an array of luxury interiors in this opulent book.

Exceptional Homes shows a variety of distinctive, newly-constructed buildings and ultra-stylish homes in prime locations. The showroom apartments in Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Hamburg feature exquisite furnishings and tasteful color combinations that make them truly inspiring. Traditional architectural layouts are skillfully re-imagined and re-designed for modern living, allowing for light-flooded floor plans with harmonious room sequences to create beautiful, upscale home environments. 

Even the common areas of the unique properties are splendidly accentuated — lavish lobbies and elaborate elevators make the mere arrival to a building or residence a memorable experience. Exclusive cooperative projects with prestigious interior design professionals, such as the Italian luxury label Bottega Veneta, demonstrate the exceptional standard upheld by this historic company. All structures are designed by renowned, highly sought-after architectural firms. 

“Only value endures” is the guiding principle of the Schmitz family, the real estate developers for subdued luxury. This is precisely what the founder of the company mandated in 1864. Today, the company embodies the same values: developing and building high-quality residential estates on exclusive properties on the basis of a building culture that stands for architectural perfection.

Country Houses, published by Beta-Plus in 2004, has been a longtime bestseller, reprinted several times.

This enthusiasm for rural interiors has prompted a second edition, Exclusive Country Houses, which features ten new, recently finished or restored houses in the European countryside.

Wim Pauwels, founder and managing director of Beta-Plus Publishing, began publishing a series of books in 1997 about architecture and interior design. 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. For each book he enlists the assistance of authoritative specialists for the introductory texts and photograph captions.

This book is a journey through the most luxurious interiors gracing the international stage. Lovers of luxury will discover everything from the most lavish of houses to the most breathtaking of yachts. Luxury is displayed in different ways in the spaces illustrated. Elegance and distinction can be of a personal nature, but a high degree of excellence and quality in materials and decoration is what separates true luxury from meaningless opulence.

Soft decoration includes window curtains, curtains, carpets, tablecloths, cushions, beds and sofas, and works of art. Fabric Styles covers three categories: textile, furniture, and works of art. The latest decoration design concepts are included here with many exquisite pictures. The book introduces the reader to the designs of soft decorations and their roles in interior design.

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.
