Home Remodeling (Good Ideas) [Hardcover]

Maria-Jose Fernandez (Author), Marina Ubach (Author), Haike Falkenberg (Author)

Book Description

Series: Good Ideas | Publication Date: February 2002

Lack of space for the construction of new homes, combined with the surge in residential real estate prices has forced architects, interior designers and home owners to look to renovation and remodeling as a solution to the need for more space and new design. With over 550 full colour photographs plus detailed architectural plans, Home Remodeling includes over 40 examples of residential spaces remodeled to meet the new demands of their owners. The remodeled projects include not only homes and primary living spaces, but also structures such as garages, barns, offices, shops and warehouses. Both single and multiresidential homes are covered. Not quite a "how to" book, the text and accompanying images convert this volume into a practical tool for architects, interior designers and home owners in the process of changing, buying or remodeling their homes.

"Remodelings" seem to belimited to large, loft-type properties and nothing really new here. A disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, March 9, 2008

If you love modern design, this book is inspiring. On every page, is a presentation of gorgeous color photographs taken in 42 locations throughout the world. Also included are diagrams of the floor plans and a brief description of the images. I've not been a huge modern fan, but I think I might become one after exploring this book. A picture is definitely worth a thousand words.
