Maggiori informazioni sul libro
An elegant presentation of interiors designed for introverts, this book features the memorable work of London architect William Smalley alongside globally inspired buildings that have influenced his practice. The interiors showcased are crafted for private moments of calm, perfect for reading, listening to music, or dining with friends. Highlighting sophisticated, low-key luxury design, the publication reflects the growing trend for slow and calm living, especially as home life has gained renewed focus due to the pandemic. Organized into four themed chapters—Space, Silence, Shadows, and Life—it emphasizes key design concepts essential for creating tranquility in Smalley’s work and in broader architectural contexts. Featured projects include Smalley’s own Bloomsbury apartment and various private residences, often in historic buildings, as well as notable structures like Casa Luis Barragán in Mexico City, Villa Saraceno in Italy, and Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge. Newly commissioned photography and interviews with owners provide fresh insights into the experience of living in these exquisite spaces, all presented in an elegant package that will inspire designers, architects, and enthusiasts of refined design. 185 illustrations / 153 in color.
