In “New Houses”, editor Llorenc Bonet takes us through thirty six of the most spectacular houses built in recent years. Located all over the world, they are set apart by their imaginative and innovative design, as well as their use of the latest in construction technologies, newly developed building materials, and furnishings from leading designers. Some projects focus primarily on the landscape, while others take into account the conservation of both space and energy.
For many years, water has been an essential element for live and for the evolution of man. Countless examples throughout history present an interaction between this liquid element and man's way of life. In Roman times, the domus was built around a patio with a small pool, which became the centre of the house. However, with the passing of time, its original function as a place to collect rainwater has given way to another much more thought -provoking one, which contributes to improving people's life. Swimming pools, especially those found inside a home, such as the ones in this book, have become a popular feature for architects and designers, who see the creation of these spaces as a great ally fo their most innovative architectural projects.

The fires lit long ago inside traditional kitchens defined the concept of home since antiquity. Since today, the kitchen can be considered the heart of any domestic space. Kitchen types have evolved over time and adapted to the needs of each time period. Today, kitchen designs from a great number of countries look to the model of the American kitchen, characterized by its open-plan scheme and its integration into traditional apartments, lofts of studios.
This volume presents light as an element with the same importance as furniture or layout; it is treated innovatively and imbued with a distinctive personality. In this book, light transcends the simple function of illumination, becoming a tool for emphasizing elements that modify space and turn it into something different by creating an interesting effect or simply a more pleasant atmosphere. This approach leads to homes with their own original identity.
The loft as we know it today is quite different from its original conception during the 1960s, when this typology of residence became popularized to reconvert warehouses that artists maintained with very few means. Today a loft can simply imply an open-plan, diaphanous and flexible space that alludes to an industrial aesthetic through exposed materials like steel and wood. New materials and design techniques have produced a new generation of lofts that have transformed it into a sophisticated asset desired by many. This selection bears proof of this growing trend, offering a wide variety of design solutions for today’s contemporary loft.
New London Style takes a fresh look into the homes of the most exciting young creatives in the city, from the music, fashion, design and art worlds. This new wave is injecting funkiness and bright ideas into highly individual and inspirational interiors.
A great number of these ideas begin in the intimacy of their own homes but have come to attract international attention, so a glimpse into these interiors reveals a world of creativity.
The twenty-eight houses are in the grooviest, on-the-edge neighbourhoods – from Shoreditch to Notting Hill, Camberwell to Clerkenwell – and reflect the cosmopolitan melting pot that influences London’s design trends – whether in a mews house, a derelict pub, or even a church.
With its intoxicating mix of Berber, Arab, Spanish and French Art Deco styles influencing and informing both homes and hotels, Morocco may be the birthplace of fusion. As new waves of travellers succumb to its charms and make it their home, they have added their own styles to the mix, respecting the roots of Moroccan design, yet altering it in subtle ways. With gorgeous photographs by Jean Cazals, Sully takes readers on an unprecedented tour through private homes, stylish resorts and intimate guest-houses, many never before published. Complementing the various houses are recipes and tips for entertaining Moroccan-style, as well as a comprehensive source guide for travellers and shoppers. A treasure trove of ideas and images, New Moroccan Style is a treat for the eyes, palate and imagination brought to light by a fresh new voice in design.
