Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Featuring beautiful photography from urban interiors all over the globe, City Living provides a wealth of refreshing ideas for making the most of urban living. Whether converting a large open-plan space to a cozy interior or adapting an eighteenth-century row house for an expanding twenty-first century family, the "city" approach to design is about function, creativity, resourcefulness, and spirit. It's about transforming the space that you have in clever and thoughtful ways that result in physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort.
Cities continue to be a mecca for young career people, families, older people, and even second-home owners. Cities offer an enormous variety of living styles and spaces to accommodate them: tiny studio walk-ups, ample apartments, duplexes, sumptuous penthouses, lofts converted from industrial spaces, elegant town houses, narrow brown-stones, and sprawling Victorian homes. From New York to Paris, Tokyo to London, this book features living spaces that stretch the boundaries of urban design and decorating. City Living shows you how to create beautiful spaces that reflect unique and inventive approaches to living in a city.
