SWEDISH COUNTRY HOUSE
MEXICAN CONTEMPORARY
Modern Mexico is an exotic, sensual mix of cultural influences and a fantastically fertile breeding ground for contemporary architecture and design. Featuring the most striking work of architects and designers such as José de Yturbe and Manuel Mestre, Mexican Contemporary explores both the boldness of the new in Mexico and the vibrant and diverse roots to which it remains true. Mexico’s pre-Columbian civilizations, the baroque, tile-clad cathedrals of the Catholic conquistadors, and the rugged and massive proportions of the colonial hacienda are all visible in the work of Mexico’s modern masters.
IRISH COUNTRY HOUSE
It chronicles a remarkable group of houses and castles that have survived the vicissitudes of Ireland’s history and are still in the hands of their original families, taking the reader on an intimate tour of these homes, many of which have never been seen in print before. The evocative, specially commissioned photographs by James Fennell show inviting living rooms and tousled bedrooms, print-lined hallways and well-trampled mudrooms. Details capture the distinctive personalities of the owners: a red silk bell-pull against green floral wallpaper, a drawer full of two-hundred-year-old love letters, the curve of a wonderfully carved antique chair.
HOUSES OF OLD CUBA
All the secrets of Cuba past and present remain intact today in the city of Havana (now a World Heritage Site), in the towns of Trinidad, Camagüey and Santiago de Cuba, and in the beautiful countryside. This superbly illustrated book reveals a Cuban architectural heritage that was hidden from view before the resurgence of tourism in this fascinating Caribbean island. Drawing upon local archives, museum records, memoirs and diaries, Llilian Llanes describes Cuba’s architectural history from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

The heart and soul of the French country home - and the source of France's legendary art de vivre - is the kitchen. Distinguished by striking craftsmanship, bold colours and vintage accents, the French country kitchen - whether a rustic retreat or an urban oasis - is always unique and inviting. In this beautiful celebration of France's real-life kitchens, Linda Dannenberg invites us into dozens of kitchens that capture the spirit of their regions, carefully examining the design, the priorities of the owners, and the details - from colour palettes to collectibles - that create inviting, functional and personal spaces.
BUILDING BRASILIA

Dostępność: na zamówienie Eastern modernist architecture of the 60’s and 70’s is moving away from the specialized focus of international architecture debates and becoming a subject of discussion within the broader context of general interest.
