Recycling old buildings can keep historic landmarks part of the community, and revitalizing these structures makes for one-of-a-kind homes. Recycled Spaces presents projects that have created beautifully designed apartments and houses out of former ecclesiastical, industrial, agricultural, municipal, and commercial sites. It provides guidelines for preserving the integrity of architectural features such as staircases, mezzanines, and period decor. And it includes a resource list with contact information for historic building preservation societies, restoration specialists, salvage companies, and architects. This is a perfect guide for renovation projects, but its coffee-table format and striking photographs will appeal to armchair decorators, people looking for fresh design ideas, and collectors of design books.

This review is from: Recycled Spaces: Converting Buildings into Homes (Hardcover)
Proving to be one of my favorite authors, time and again, Recycled Spaces is a wonderful reference for those looking to convert a commercial building. The book is divided by type (ie train stations, churches) and examples are given of each. Each home comes with a floorplan and brief history of what it was and its evolution. This is also an excellent design source. A great buy!
