In HOME Kelly Hoppen explores the entire process of creating home that meets all your needs - one that is as functional and versatile as it is beautiful and nurturing. Giving a clear picture of her design approach at every stage - from the conception of the idea, though the planning and decision-making, to implementing the work and achieving the reality - she reveals how to get the most from your living space. Kelly's skill in understanding how a home works and what gives it its individual look is illustrated by a portfolio of projects from the UK, USA, Israel and Switzerland. Alongside the stunning photographs by Vincent Knapp, room boards and architectural plans and drawings help explain how to reconfigure space and make design and layout choices, as well as illustrating how to transform ideas into workable schemes. Insightful text offers advice and inspiration, with checklists, practical tips and information from expert consultants. Case studies incorporating plans and room boards summarize key topics

Remote Luxury - Top Resorts Down Under is the ultimate guide to getting away from it all in both Australia and New Zealand. Over the past decade or so, Australia and its just as spectacular neighbour across the Tasman have established a reputation for being two of the most sought-after destinations in the world. This reputation has come about from not only the extraordinary landscapes both countries boast but also the inspirational way Australasian architects and designers have used these landscapes to fashion innovative and memorable places to escape to. This beautifully photographed publication takes you on a visual journey through the most remote of these idyllic getaways, from luxurious but laidback lodges in the Outback to sophisticated eco resorts in the rainforest and sleek retreats by the sea. Some of the destinations are easily recognisable, such as the far-flung but first-class Burrawang West Station and the celebrities' favourite, Huka Lodge in New Zealand; but others are refreshingly l

Principles of Modern Architecture is not a history of modern archi- tecture. Its aim is theoretical and it represents an attempt to explain the basic tenets of the new architecture that came into being around the turn of the century. The many misunderstandings currently in cir-culation make such an attempt a timely one. Modern Architecture represents an answer to the spatiality of theopen world. "Pre-modern" currents, such as art nouveau and thenew building technology paved the way for Le Corbusier's concept of the "free plan" in 1926, later supplemented by Mies van der Rohe's idea of "clear construction."Modern architecture became a "movement" with the institution of the ClAM (Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) in 1928 and has remained the only true expression of the open world of plu- ralism and global interaction.In this volume Christian Norberg-Schulz investigates the basic prin- ciples of modern architecture including the "free plan" and the "open form," as well as the manifestations of m

In May 2004, Europe was redefined. Ten countries - Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia - joined the European Union (EU). Two years on, the full impact of the forces this historical event has unleashed has yet to be understood. For not only is the expansion having an unequivocal bearing on 'old' Europe, it is also helping to change the countries of 'new Europe'. As the economic and the political balance of the enlarged EU is being redrawn, the identities of the newly joined countries is in flux - the majority of the joining states being under Communist rule less than two decades ago. Contemporary architecture in these 10 countries necessarily presents itself as a process that is anything but linear. It must deal with hybridisation, with new global trends, as well as with the permanence of structures and national heritage. Architects, mostly practising in the private rather than public sphere, are contending with the various poli

A temptation to dream This book explores contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked land that stretches from the Sahara to the Mediterranean: Morocco. The diversity is breathtaking: the rural pis? architecture of the south is a far cry from the Hispano-Mooresque ornamental beauty of the imperial cities. Moroccan Interiors are as endlessly varied as the country itself, from the restored palaces in the medina of Marrakesh (where aesthetes of the international set now live) to humble troglodyte fishermen's homes at Sidi Moussa d?Aglou. The colorful palette of this country and the light there themselves suffuse these very different homes with a vitality that is as distinctive to modern Morocco as it is a reflection of contemporary trends in d?cor worldwide.

At eighteen she began a meteoric career at the various international editions of Vogue. She has since decided to concentrate on writi
