Summary

This book visits a number of extraordinary homes, from the apartment to the townhouse. Those settled in the suburban house on the quarter acre block will be intrigued by the smaller spaces emerging in our cities. From lofts nestled into warehouse spaces to the townhouses hidden in lane-ways, the localities as intriguing as the spaces themselves. With a move to smaller and more flexible spaces, architects and designers are pushing the parameters of available space. Stephen Crafti is a well-known author and journalist and this is his third book for the Images Publishing Group. This publication also features some of Australia's top photographers, including Max Dupain and John Gollings, and showcases some brilliant designs by architects such as Form Follows Function, Neometro and Stanic Harding Architecture + Interiors.
