The book is a compendium of homes, including apartments and
single-family houses, that have been remodeled to suit contemporary
lifestyle needs. Rehabilitations of living spaces are often done to
reanimate existing constructions that, over time, have become
impractical, if not obsolete. The challenge is to adapt these
existing buildings to contemporary standards while maintaining what
might still be useful or what we like about them. Most old
buildings are very compartmentalised, reflecting the human habits
of their time and the available building technology. Nowadays, we
like to live in much more open and airy spaces - and new building
methods allow for the removal of walls that ultimately free up
space. We renovate and upgrade living spaces to various degrees,
ranging anywhere from upgrading fixtures and appliances to removing
and reconstructing walls and expanding buildings. While extensive
work is sometimes required, these rehabilitations can result in
stunning transformations. Many add comfort and increase utility,
not to mention that the investment generally adds value to the
property. This inspirational book showcases a range of
rehabilitated projects, from ones that begin by totally stripping
out interiors to a clean slate, to less extensive work that might
be limited to cosmetic changes or simple finish and fixture
upgrades. Existing dwellings have proved themselves flexible to
changing necessities, and they are key to the regeneration of our
living environment. Text in English, German and French.
