4. Infinite Space: Contemporary Residential Architecture and Interiors Photographed by James Silverman

Про книгу

Architecture reflects the period of time in

which it was created. This is true for landmark

buildings and major public projects

as well as residential and family properties.

Yet architecture is also an expression

of an individual s personality, needs, taste,

and his or her overall take on life. Different

countries, cultures, and lifestyles influence

the design of structures and interiors

as much as the local climate and other

regional characteristics do.

What does a house need to become a

home? Infinite Space provides answers to

this question that are as varied as the people

behind the projects presented on its

pages. Singles, couples, and families; clients,

architects, and suppliers they all

have their own ideas of what makes a modern

home. While the featured buildings

have a contemporary clarity, lightness, and

openness in common, they differ greatly

in their details. The spectrum of materials

used includes wood, stone, metal, and

glass. Colors range from bright to subdued;

furnishings from glamorously elaborate to

tastefully understated. Their unique combination

gives each house its character or,

rather, reflects the character of its owners,

builders, and residents.

A terrace by a lake, a dramatic fireplace,

a living room bathed in sunlight adjoining

an open-plan kitchen, a pool amongst palm

trees, a sauna in the forest, a bedroom with

a sky view Infinite Space showcases stunning

projects from all around the world

captured by renowned architecture and

interior photographer James Silverman on

his travels. In his images of living rooms,

bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, dining

rooms, working areas, children s rooms,

and gardens, Silverman explores the interplay

of functional and decorative space, as

well as interiors and exteriors.

Infinite Space takes a nuanced look at how

houses are constructed today. This book

will not only inspire professional architects

and interior designers, but it will also

prompt anyone building or renovating a

house to define their own particular home

in more detail little by little, and each

time slightly differently. Until their dream

home becomes a reality.
