This is an excellent, wide-ranging selection of house designs, all as diverse and eclectic as the people who live in them and the architects who design them. Included is an exhaustive cross section of apartments, lofts, houses and studios that reflect the forward-looking lifestyles and domestic aesthetics of a new century. Minimalist environments, sensual and intimate spaces, and spacious, light-filled homes all make their mark with style and distinction.

You will find solutions of the most diverse types. There are, however, a handful of approaches that could be considered common to the latest preferences in contemporary interior design: a certain tendencyto clear spaces of ornamental objects that obscure and blur architectural lines, the almost systematic elimination of the habitual resources used to disguise load-bearing structures, a trend toward transparent spaces with few spatial divisions, and the recurring use of light and color as integral components of the architectural solutions.
