Interiors: The Home Since 1700
Dostępność: na zamówienie The development of the domestic interior is a history of consumption and taste. In "Interiors: The Home Since 1700", for the first time, this story is set against the cultural and industrial changes taking place in the western world since the seventeenth century. Unlike almost all previous histories, this book does not deal exclusively with the grand houses of the aristocracy: Steven Parissienas masterly text concentrates rather on the homes of the merchants and middle classes, who have been the first to take advantage of new technologies to furnish and decorate their homes.
NEW YORK APARTMENTS
It’s impossible to walk the streets of New York and not wonder what’s behind the windows and doors of the city’s panoply of residential buildings. Whether it’s a breathtaking penthouse on Fifth Avenue or an inconspicuous garden apartment in the East Village; an artist’s loft in SoHo or a private house tucked away on a quiet corner—New Yorkers know how to make their spaces both livable and imaginative, both functional and spectacular.

DETAIL IN CONTEMPORARY...
For each bathroom there is an image of the whole house (placing it in context and providing a flavour of the general design style), images of the bathroom, and a floor plan showing its relation to other spaces. The pages that follow are entirely devoted to detailed drawings showing the arrangement and construction of the bathroom, in particular sections, elevations and construction details of all the fitted units and joinery. These drawings are all made to a consistent style and to a set number of scales for easy comparison. Dimensions are also included with the drawings as well as details of fitted units (baths, showers, basins, etc.). The credits for the project include contact details of suppliers so that the exact materials and fixtures can be sourced.
