Book excerpt: Complete with demonstrative illustrations and photographs, Small Space Living offers more than one hundred space-saving ideas from Roberta Sandenbergh, a.k.a the Small Space Architect. Sandenbergh will introduce you to the idea of space opportunities—untapped areas in every home that can be expanded for storage and organizational purposes. A space opportunity might be as simple as using an empty space under a stairway or above a doorway or as complicated as dividing your entire apartment for rental income. Each chapter addresses a different kind of space opportunity area, including closets, corners, walls, windows, ceilings, and floors. In these areas, you will be inspired by Sandenbergh’s creative approaches to divided spaces, stacked spaces, empty spaces, mirrored spaces, and multipurpose furniture. Learn from the author’s stories of her own designs for “small-by-choice” homes—for herself and for her clients—in which she tried to make the best possible use of varied living spaces. Allow Sandenbergh to help you create more space-efficient and attractive areas in your home whether you live in a studio apartment, a tiny home, or a larger home that needs more of a cozy feel.

Download or read book Living Space in Fact and Fiction written by Philippa Tristram and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, Living Space in Fact and Fiction explores the house both in the ‘real’ world of the architect and the built environment, and in the fictional world of the novelist. The role of the house, in fact and fiction, tells us much about the space we live in, while the work of contemporary architects and designers illuminates aspects of the novelist’s art. Profusely illustrated, Living Space takes the history of the house from the Georgian world of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela through the works of novelists such as Jane Austen, Dickens, George Eliot, and Henry James, up to 1914, when the notion of the house changes its nature. Philippa Tristram is concerned not only with the structure and organization of the house, but with the inner life lived within it. She shows how the subconscious life of the family was transformed over a century and a half, revealed in the shape and structure of the home. This book will be of interest to students of literature, history and architecture.
