Is a large canvas really necessary to paint a masterpiece? The obvious answer would be that the size of the canvas and the brilliance of an artwork bear no mutual relation. This book demonstrates just this point in the world of creative interior design. The continuous downsizing of urban apartments has led to a search for new design solutions to make a virtue out of limited available space. The final result is a philosophy of life based on the small, flexible and adaptable. This book presents 56 apartments with considerable size constraints and shows the inventive living spaces that can result. From the outre (the Cocoon House near Melbourne, a miniature Zeppelin; the Keenan Tower looming over the Arkansas woods) to the trendy (bright white modernity in New York, London, Barcelona), over 500 illustrations show a multiplicity of creative, bijou homes.
