An elegant presentation of interiors for introverts, placing the
memorable work of London architect William Smalley alongside
buildings around the world that have inspired his practice. The
interiors in Quiet Spaces were made for private contemplation: calm
places in which to read a book, listen to music or have dinner with
friends. Showcasing the possibilities of sophisticated, low-key
luxury design, this book presents the work of William Smalley
alongside a selection of inspirational spaces across the globe that
have influenced his practice. This timely publication speaks to the
growing trend for slow and calm living, boosted by a return to
focusing on home life thanks to the pandemic. Organized into four
themed chapters – Space, Silence, Shadows and Life – Quiet
Spaces reveals the importance of key design concepts in creating
quiet equilibrium in Smalley’s practice, as well as in homes,
interiors and architecture more generally. Projects range from
Smalley’s work – including his own Bloomsbury Apartment and a
number of private residences, frequently in old houses – to
inspiring buildings around the world, such as Mexico City’s Casa
Barragán, Villa Saraceno in Italy and Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge.
Newly commissioned photography and interviews with the owners give
fresh insights into the experience of living in these exquisite
spaces, brought together in an elegant and covetable package that
will inspire designers, architects and anyone with a love of
restrained and refined design.
