Nordic Design as a Timeless Source of InspirationThe design culture of the Nordic countries is celebrated for its successful blend of minimalism, coziness, comfort, and beauty. Few places in the world approach housing with such intentionality, where architecture and interior design continually strive to balance tradition and innovation. Whether set in vibrant cities, idyllic countryside, or exposed to the forces of the sea, Scandinavian home design exemplifies how aesthetics and functionality can complement each other in unique ways. With outstanding examples, this volume provides insights into the living culture of a region globally recognized as a pioneer in sustainable and sophisticated design. The editor showcases carefully selected houses and apartments that reflect the timeless charm of Scandinavian style: a tribute to the art of creating aesthetically inspiring living spaces that accommodate a wide range of lifestyles.
Beyond Walls: The Subtle Elegance of Japanese InteriorsLife in Japan - and therefore also the culture of living - oscillates between two very contrasting poles: on the one hand, the tranquility of country life, surrounded by the sounds of nature, with tatami mats, sliding doors and engawa wooden verandas, and on the other, the frenetic dynamism of the metropolises and large cities with minimalist townhouses on narrow plots and sophisticated micro-apartments. It becomes exciting when these worlds of tradition and modernity meet and interact with each other in terms of design. This volume offers a multifaceted overview of contemporary Japanese residential architecture and introduces the art of creating spaces that combine functionality and spirituality. It offers unique insights into the principles that make them so special and shows how living spaces are not only designed but also experienced. The selected projects invite to understand and reinterpret the essence of Japanese living cultures.

Vertical elegance: Exploring the cutting-edge world of today's apartment building design. Today, multi-family buildings have become symbols of modern living that redefine both social cohesion and urban space. Their high resident density, low resource and space requirements, as well as communally used areas make them also the most sustainable approach for new forms of residential spaces. With a variety of heights and fa ade designs, multi-storey buildings are shaping the appearance of cities and suburbs, turning them into veritable stages for these multifaceted architectural showpieces. This volume presents projects that combine innovation, esthetics, sustainability, and quality of life. Each selected building, from social housing to luxury serviced apartments, emphasizes flexibility and individuality, and tells its own story. They all present visions for a vibrant and sustainable urban future through the interplay of intelligent floor plans, well thought-out spatial concepts, and convincing design solutions.

An inspiring overview of contemporary homes set against the backdrop of high mountains, steep hillsides and picturesque valleys with a focus on architecture and interior design. From the majestic peaks of the Alps to the green slopes of Japan's Shikoku Range and the rugged heights of the Rocky Mountains: the selected residential buildings at such dizzying heights are a reminder that architecture not only creates spaces, but also shapes the relationship between human beings and their environment. They are creative showpieces that blend harmoniously and respectfully into the breathtaking nature of the mountain landscapes. Hillside locations present very special challenges and at the same time offer endless design possibilities. On the one hand, they open up spectacular views, while on the other they make innovative solutions for the room program possible. All the oases of modern living featured in this book demonstrate unique ways how esthetics, functionality, sustainability and adaptation to the topography can be felicitously combined.

This compendium presents an international showcase of contemporary landscape design between global trends, local traditions, climatic conditions, functional demands, new technologies, economic circumstances, and individual styles: landscape architecture of today heading for tomorrow. A reference work and source of inspiration, this compendium provides an overview of the entire spectrum of this discipline based on projects around the world. Their common denominator is the design of ecologically and socially intact living space. Almost exactly ten years after the publishing of the Atlas of World Landscape Architecture, this new publication takes stock of the developments of the last decade. Whether around, besides, on top of, or even in buildings, in populated areas or in the countryside, landscape architecture develops and designs outdoor spaces for humans as independent creations. It mediates between nature and architecture and connects the grown and the planned habitat, balancing function and aesthetics. Against the backdrop of climate change, the central task today is the conservation of natural resources and the creation of sustainable, high-quality green spaces.
Contemporary design solutions and retail concepts for the perfect book shopping experience. While the book industry is experiencing astonishing growth in many countries, the physical book trade had to reinvent itself. Bookstores have successfully adopted innovative ways to remain relevant - and escape the clutches of the powerful online trade. In addition to essential basics such as a carefully curated product range, supplemented by intelligent non-book products, a sensible integration of digital elements and, of course, expert advice, the key to success today is to celebrate the book as a cultural asset and to stage a visit to a bookshop as an inspiring and amazing experience. Accordingly, the focus needs to be on all aspects of book presentation, so that interior design plays an increasingly decisive role: from the floor plan, lighting and furniture to the use of colors and the choice of materials. In this volume, Chris van Uffelen brings together groundbreaking store concepts that show how the book trade has become a pioneer of offline shopping.

Taking the reader on a journey to the world's most beautiful houses at the seaThis volume invites you to rediscover and redefine life by the sea. The selected projects show the planning and construction possibilities in dealing with the special conditions of such locations. It presents creative designs and spatial concepts from all over the world of dreamlike, relaxed, and enjoyable living between water, air and earth. Living by the sea, surrounded by dunes, cliffs or wide beaches is a life in sync with nature, immersed in nature. Naturally, this preferred location near the water also leaves its imprint on the buildings there. On a functional level, beach houses have to offer protection against the wind and waves, but above all, as the supreme manifestation of longing turned into architecture, they must give room for experiencing nature.
