RENOVATED SPACES:NEW LIFE...
HOME OFFICES
Our work habits are changing. More and more people, especially liberal professionals and those who have creative occupations, choose to work away from the crammed and impersonal offices of their companies. The alternative, the office at home, has slowly become the favored solution for those who cannot practice their profession within rigid hierarchical structures or for those who do not depend on a strictly centralised flow of information.The consolidation of the internet and new technologies has made it possible to turn something that was a dream only a few years ago into a normal routine for millions of people around the world.

SMALL LIVING
Interior designers are increasingly faced with the challenge of designing within small spaces. This compilation of projects from around the world pays special attention to the particular features of each space, the end result being determined by the pre-existing features and thus creating the optimum living experience. The property's location within the city, the building's architectural characteristics, its structure and the lighting and ventilation conditions are points of departure for the interior designer.
FRENCH CHATEAU
The French Chateau provides a privileged view into the special world that lies within France's grand historical houses, a view hitherto afforded only to a selected circle of the French aristocracy and their friends. These stately residences are not dusty uninhabited museums, but real homes. Christiane de Nicolay-Mazery, herself born and brought up in her family's magnificent property at Montfort-le-Rotrou, takes us across France to visit the great chateaux she knows so well, giving us an intimate view of the unique way of life that goes on in them through the seasons. In the spring we attend a wedding at Jean de Beistegui's Chateau de Groussay.

The pressure exerted on cities in recent decades is extremely evident. There is no need for one to consult offi cial statistics to realize that cities are turning into the place where most of the population prefers to live and work. Residing downtown or in inner city areas, where business and cultural activities are to be found, is very practical and with more advantages than those that were to be had in suburban areas only a few years ago.
