Nestled in the suburbs of Antwerp, surrounded by parkland and situated in more than ten acres of tranquility, 'Kasteel Withof' has stood since 1902. For the first time in its history, this hotel restaurant is completely dedicated to recreation and superb culinary creations.

Whether traditional, Nordic, or futuristic, the kitchen is the new living room — a place to cook, eat, and celebrate. This book showcases the latest interiors and kitchen concepts.

The kitchen is the new living room: a space for social gathering, collaborative cooking, event hosting, and communal dining. Undergoing immense transformation through time and continually adapting to current social and aesthetic trends, the room that used to be a service area relegated to the back of the house is now the multi-functional hub of the home.

Kitchen Kulture is an inspiring visual feast that shines a light on all that the twenty-first century kitchen can be. The kitchens presented in this book are testing grounds for environmentally-friendly innovation as well as lively spaces that inspire a higher quality of life by prompting better eating habits and bringing together family and friends. From a vast, open-plan kitchen in a London townhouse to a kitchenette inside a student studio in Berlin, the professionals behind these designs uncover the full potential of today’s kitchen through their creativity.

At home, the kitchen is where the best parties end, the wildest affairs begin, food trends are set, small culinary businesses are founded, and the perfect strangers of a supper-club are catered to. Whether large or small, modern or rustic, the kitchen has become the center of all the action. What was once a pragmatically designed place for food preparation has now become a stage on which the act of cooking and eating is celebrated as a social event. At the same time, the kitchen is being opened up to become a living space and pivotal meeting point in the home.

Kitchen Kulture is an insightful survey of new, established, and unconventional ideas in contemporary kitchen design. From small-scale multifunctional cupboard kitchens to expansive living and cooking environments, the book features kitchens that are as individual and charismatic as the personalities that use them. It includes high-tech innovations by well-known kitchen manufacturers, surprising approaches for everyday life, pop-up cooking sites for special events, and futuristic design concepts that let the kitchen dissolve entirely and become fully integrated into living spaces.

Details are an essential part of today’s culinary experience — not only when it comes to cooking but also when designing a kitchen interior. For this reason, Kitchen Kulture presents not only functional furnishings, but also an array of kitchen tools and appliances that meld practicality with aesthetics. And because a kitchen comes alive when it is used, the book includes several photo-based stories of people cooking and enjoying in their kitchens that truly capture their atmospheres.

It is precisely these rich details that make Kitchen Kulture such an inspiring reference for all of those facing the exciting yet challenging task of improving, extending, or rebuilding their kitchen. Or, of course, for those who would simply like to kick off their next dinner with friends by planning their dream kitchen!

America’s love of wine has spurred a collecting and entertaining phenomenon

Some of America’s most passionate oenophiles have re-invented the wine cellar as an inviting and beautiful part of the home.

True collectors love to share their passion, and this book offers a tour of their distinctive cellars. Created with the help of some of the best designers in the field, these rooms blend luxurious design aesthetics with ingenious storage solutions. The thirty stunning spaces featured include a traditional wood cellar finished with rich paneling and ornate lighting; a cathedral-like space that showcases ironwork inspired by the French Quarter of New Orleans (and has a secret entry from a library inside the house); an inviting living room lined with temperature-controlled wood alcoves behind insulated glass; and an Old World terra-cotta cellar–within a sprawling entertainment center that includes a wet bar, a billiards table, and a tasting room.

Living with Wine reveals the details that make the cellars a welcoming place to return–from the materials, artwork, lighting, and cutting-edge preservation technology to the way the space harmonizes with the rest of the house. From the Bay Area to Boston, Napa to New York, homeowners such as Nancy and John Lasseter, the founder of Pixar Studios; American Idol host and TV and radio personality Ryan Seacrest; and entrepreneur Rick Ryan share insights into what they collect, why they started collecting, and how they designed their spaces to fit their passion.

This elegant volume shows what it means to love and collect wine.

As the sequel to the highly successful Bar and Club Design, this volume examines current international trends, showcasing 47 bars and clubs. The resurgence of cocktail culture and the explosion of the 'style bar' - places that are professionally designed and serve high-quality spirits, wines and cocktails - continues in cities such as New York, London and Tokyo, but is happening in Beirut and Kuala Lumpur too. There is also a trend in lower budget designer bars that are as visually interesting as the big budget productions - such as Andy Wahloo in Paris and Opal in London. Likewise, club culture continues to thrive. Nightclubs have grown cosier and cater to the 'grown-up clubber', offering comfort and luxury rather than an empty shell in which to dance. 'Superclubs' such as Avalon in New York and CocoonClub in Frankfurt now have the very best in technology and audiovisual entertainment.

New Bar and Club Design showcases 47 of the most glamorous venues around the world. The featured nightspots are grouped according to type: bars, restaurant bars, hotel bars and clubs. The book features a wide variety of bars to suit every taste, from space-age retro at Universum in Berlin to vintage Moroccan at Andy Wahloo in Paris, while clubs range from the hight-tech superclub Cacoon in Frankfurt to the bijou padded boîte Cielo in New York. New Bar and Club Design will inspire interior designers and scenesters alike – in fact anyone fascinated by the endlessly inventive world of interiors devoted to hedonism.

The patio is an outdoor space situated within a house that can have a number of uses, although in the past it served merely as a distributor of space of for ventilating and illuminating the parts furthers away from the facade with natural light. Nowadays, architets have rethought this space and have adapted it to new uses, even in regions with a cool climate and less tradition of living outdoors. The sensation of spaciousness and good lighting acquired by a home giving on to a patio, however small, is one of the reasons why the latter has become more widespread. The patio can also serve to seperate the daytime area from the night-time one, or ensure that an outdoor space can be enjoyed free from prying eyes. So, the patio has become one more room in a house, standing out from the others through its lack of roof and its primary function as a place intended for relaxtion.
