Small Living SpacesTurning a small space into a comfortable dwelling is one such challenge, the major task being to ensure that the lack of living space is not perceived. Small Living Spaces presents 32 superb examples of how imaginative force can be employed to make the most unlikely small premises appear commodious. They include Jo Crepain's water tower, Rick Joy's Convert Avenue studio, Ian Hay's apartment. Simon Condor & Associates' residential conversion of a fire station, Andrea Modica's duplex in Milan, and Marc Guard's apartment in Bank-side Lofts. Some have been created by dividing a single large flat, others by converting obsolescent industrial space into new residential complexes. |
