A Pocketful of Apartments

Many view apartment-living as the way of the future, and this book demonstrates just why it can be so desirable. After all, apartment dwellers enjoy the best of everything: the best views; functional floorplans; low-level maintenance, and convenient, inner-city locations close to work, shops, restaurants and continuous entertainment. With over 50 apartments set in the world's most desirable destinations, including Rio, Sydney, New York, London and Hong Kong, this new book demonstrates why so many people are now choosing to call an apartment home. A handy, pocket-sized reference, it offers a concise and insightful glimpse into some of the world's most beautiful homes, from penthouses to pied-a-terres. Each started life as a non-descript shell, with many being reclaimed from warehouses or office spaces. Now, they are luxury penthouses, funky lofts, sleek bachelor pads, and even sumptuous family homes. Outstanding colour photography and plans complement easy-to-read project descriptions to make this book a functional guide to planning and decorating your own sophisticated piece of residential bliss.
