This book demonstrates just this point in the world of creative interior design. The continuous downsizing of urban apartments has led to a search for new design solutions to make a virtue out of limited available space. The final result is a philosophy of life based on the small, flexible and adaptable. This book presents 56 apartments with considerable size constraints and shows the inventive living spaces that can result.

Z powstaniem tego rodzaju publikacji wiążą się nieuchronnie pewne komplikacje. Wnętrza znajdują się w swoistej „otoczce” – chacie, pałacu, kościele, nawet kadłubie statku czy samolotu. Są wypełnione mnóstwem przedmiotów i sprzętów: meblami, elementami oświetlenia, tkaninami, niekiedy także dziełami sztuki. Oznacza to, że ich projektowanie jest dziedziną, której granice nie są wyraźnie określone, łączącą się z zagadnieniami konstrukcji, architekturą, sztuką, stylem, rzemiosłem i technikami ogrzewania, chłodzenia, wentylacji, oświetlenia, doprowadzania wody…

The authors of FInnish Summer Houses turn their attention to the residential architecture of Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), who was among the first and most influential architects of Nordic modernism. Aalto, who is also known for his furniture and glassware, worked in a unique style that blended modernism and traditional vernacular architecture and was characterised by his use of natural materials and organic forms. During the course of a career spanning over fifty years, Alvar Aalto designed nearly one hundred single family houses. Many of them are architectural gems that illustrate his thoughts about dwelling and architecture. It was in his houses that Aalto had the opportunity to experiment with new ideas, as many of them were built for close friends.
