Imagine a sitting room the size of a factory floor with riverfront views, or a treetop bedroom with a ceiling as high as a church nave. Imagine a kitchen as large as a telephone exchange with a canal on one side and a supermarket on the other. Now imagine how to make these spaces habitable without sacrificing their original character.
As the world shrinks in the slipstream of jet travel we begin to evaluate space as the greatest luxury of the 21st Century. All around the world, warehouses, schools, sheds and factories are being reclaimed and recycled to create a vast, airy accommodation with an unconventional twist.
'Converted Spaces' spans the spectrum of successful conversions from industrial heritage to rural past - not all modern in style, but with an aesthetic that works for modern living. A stunning visual sourcebook of the most creative and innovative interior designs, the book presents and impressive collection of international homes, and includes the work of Andree Putman, Vicente Wolf and Donald Judd.
Six spectacular gatefold features show how it is done in practice. Each converted space is unique - you can do what you like, have what you want - these are homes with personality.
