The Cramped little volumes converted into beautiful one-room environments with clever use of space.Two-floor spaces where a dynamic interplay between the levels has been introduced And drab traditional apartments converted into evocative dream spaces.

The remodeled urban apartment is gaining a more prominent place in the world of architecture and design just as urban living is gaining popularity and changing the face of cities the world over.But the old standards of apartment design, where space was divided into walledoff discrete compartments intended to provide privacy for larger family units, are being replaced by a desire for more free-flowing spaces,clean lines, and crisp, minimalist design This book employs some of the best examples of contemporary apartment design to illustrate these exciting design trends: Labyrinthine old apartments that have been opened up to light and air Rough-hewn industrial spaces reanimated through judicious interventions.Cramped little volumes converted into beautiful one-room environments with clever use of space.Two-floor spaces where a dynamic interplay between the levels has been introduced.And drab traditional apartments converted into evocative dream spaces.
